PRLog - Aug. 5, 2014 - CENTRAL LONDON, U.K. -- Florence, capital of Tuscany! The city that revelled in prosperity and beauty under Lorenzo de 'Medici, thanks to Da Vinci, Michelangelo and others - the city that over the centuries has given birth to artists and writers from Dante and Boccaccio to Petrarch.

In today’s modern age, however, Florence is scene to the adventures of Desdemona Metus, university student by day and radio DJ by night. The city she walks is not the one you find in tourist guides - it is HER Florence, as dark as night, in which crime and politics are intertwined with mysteries of the city that will grip you! Go past the olive groves and into the dark maze of Florence’s streets, where "ordinary" stories cross with international conspiracy. This is Desdemona, a journey of discovery into Florence and Italy.

Desdemona is an innovative character, of a comic book without superheroes or extraordinary powers, monsters, elves or dragons.” says CEO Giuseppe Pennestri. “Our hero is not without fear or flaw for Desdemona makes mistakes - as with every human being - and shares these experiences in her broadcasts that cover so many odd things.

Translate and publish thirteen episodes of ninety-six pages each is a huge task, as one can imagine, they are lucky to have a devoted team that has already translated the first three episodes of the series and they have produced a special issue to introduce Desdemona, but to be able to complete the full series they have recently launched a Kickstarter campaign, with awesome rewards for their backers.
