Arte - S01

In the 16th century, the city of Florence is thriving with a cultural and creative revival in celebration of the Renaissance. Arte, a cheerful young woman from an aristocratic family, dreams of becoming an artist and adding to this renewal of civilization. But after her father dies, she loses the only person who believed in her passion for art. Now she is expected to marry a nobleman and live as a proper housewife without bringing shame to her family name. Unwilling to accept this fate, the headstrong Arte takes to the streets to find a master artisan who will take her on as an apprentice. In her search for a mentor, Arte faces a harsh reality when she is completely rejected for being a female artist. No one believes women are capable of fine craftsmanship, so none are willing to accept her. Fortunately, a well-known artisan named Leo is persuaded to take her as his disciple since he has none anyway. And so Arte's new life begins, far from the comfort of her noble upbringing. As an apprentice, she must earn her keep while facing various challenges on the difficult path to becoming a full-fledged master artisan.
