October, 1510: Taddeo Albano, Venetian merchant and trusted partner of Isabella D'Este, the duchess of Mantua, is requested by the lady to find and buy the "Nocte" painting by Giorgione, for her private collection. This is how the journey of Taddeo begins, at the pursuit of the masterpiece of the mysterious painter.
Along the way, he will find most of the landscapes and the people Giorgione visited throughout his life: from Castelfranco to Asolo, from nobles who commissioned several of his paintings to Venetian intellectual circles he frequented, from his colleagues Titian and Catena to the parties of the Calza's company.
