Virdimura, born on a day of rains and omens, bears the name of the moss that persistently appears on the city walls of Catania. She was raised by her father, Master Uriah, a doctor who knew the secrets of medicinal herbs, rare scientific knowledge and many languages. He taught Virdimura to heal bodies and souls, without making a distinction between Muslims, Christians or Jews. It was her father who passed on to her an important secret: “Medicine does not require mastery. Only skill.” Virdimura, in her declining years, repeats these words before a commission that decides whether to issue a woman, for the first time in history, a license to practice medicine.

In 14th-century Italy, where destinies intersect in the shadow of boiling Etna, Simone Lo Iacono creates a grandiose portrait of the proud and courageous Virdimura, who fights superstitions and laws to assert the right of every person to treatment and women to freedom.
