Vigy\u00e1zat, a reg\u00e9ny val\u00f3s elemeket tartalmaz. Egy viszonylag egyszer\u0171bb t\u00f6rt\u00e9net keret\u00e9ben k\u00e9pet kapunk a renesz\u00e1nsz vil\u00e1g egy szelet\u00e9b\u0151l. Megfordulunk R\u00f3m\u00e1ban, Firenz\u00e9ben, de nagy r\u00e9szben az akkori Biz\u00e1ncban fogunk gy\u00f6ny\u00f6rk\u00f6dni.Jah \u00e9s mindek\u00f6zben lesz\u00fcnk szerelmesek n\u0151be, \u00e9jszak\u00e1ba, f\u00e9rfibe, \u00e9p\u00edt\u00e9szetbe; igen, mi lesz\u00fcnk, mert annyira de annyira egy\u00fctt megy\u00fcnk a t\u00f6rt\u00e9nettel. Michelangelo Konstantin\u00e1polyba utazik p\u00e1r h\u00f3napra, mert megb\u00edz\u00e1st kap egy h\u00edd tervez\u00e9s\u00e9re. Az akkori Isztambulban t\u00f6lt\u00f6tt n\u00e9h\u00e1ny h\u00f3nap alatt megismerj\u00fck a v\u00e1ros minden sz\u00e9ps\u00e9g\u00e9t \u00e9s gondj\u00e1t, a benne lak\u00f3 embereket, a m\u0171v\u00e9szeket. Ez egy k\u00f6nnyed olvasm\u00e1ny, ami olyan j\u00f3l van meg\u00edrva, hogy sokkal t\u00f6bb irodalmi d\u00edjat is meg\u00e9rdemelt volna. Am\u00fagy, nem egy b\u00e1nt\u00f3an vastag k\u00f6nyv, (pap\u00edrt\u00e1blag\u00e9pen olvastam, de) nagyj\u00e1b\u00f3l sz\u00e1z oldalas olvasm\u00e1nyr\u00f3l besz\u00e9l\u00fcnk.

Konstantin\u00e1polyban ugyanaz a helyzet: csak cselsz\u00f6v\u00e9szek mennek. Fizet\u00e9st itt sem kap, de itt is marasztalni pr\u00f3b\u00e1lj\u00e1k. (Vagy ink\u00e1bb meg\u00f6lni?) Nincs j\u00f3 megold\u00e1sa a helyzetnek. Lel\u00f6v\u00f6m a p\u00f4\u00e8nt: a v\u00e9g\u00e9n visszamegy a f\u0151h\u0151s It\u00e1li\u00e1ba. Mindazon\u00e1ltal, levonhat\u00f3 tanuls\u00e1gokb\u00f3l b\u0151ven akad. A mondatok; szinte minden esetben egyar\u00e1nt \u00e9rv\u00e9nyesek a jelen \u00e9s a renesz\u00e1nsz korban. Nem is \u00e9rtem, hogyan siker\u00fclt ilyen zseni\u00e1lisan megoldani; mindv\u00e9gig \u00fagy besz\u00e9l el egy f\u00e9l ezer \u00e9vvel ezel\u0151tti t\u00f6rt\u00e9netet, hogy k\u00f6zben a jelenben vagyunk.
