Veronica is brilliant, gifted and beautiful, but the handsome aristocrat she loves, Marco Venier, cannot marry her because she is penniless and of questionable family. So Veronica's mother, Paola, teaches her to become a courtesan, one of the exotic companions favored by the richest and most powerful Venetian men. Veronica courageously uses her charms to change destiny -- and to give herself a chance at true love.

"A stunning period piece musing about what it might be to be a courtesan. Based on the story of Veronica Franco, a courtesan in 16th century Venice. (cant complain about Rufus Sewell either) "

"@chelseawrightreads It’s my favourite movie! I love the whole thing! I loved her fascination with the courtesans, her love of books, when her mother told her there’s no $ for her & that she wasn’t the type for other work. I enjoyed seeing her mother train her with the model, how Marco broke her heart & went to war. I liked how Marco wooed her back but she kept refusing him. These are just a few scenes. I’ve reached my word limit now. What are YOUR favourite scenes? #DangerousBeauty #romance #drama"
