Fioretta and Guilliano-because they are the most tragic characters and they started it all.

I like Sophia and Gerhard. Sophia is the strongest of all the female characters and Gerhard has to prove himself to her brothers. She runs the vineyard, creates the cave and saves the painting from the Germans, all after watching Gerhard get violently murdered in front of her.

Giuliano and Fioretta for sure! I felt like their story was the most real. Maybe because they were the two that put everything into motion. I felt like Alex and Angela's relationship was more obsession than love, and Sophia and Gerhards's wasn't really developed as much as the other two.

My favorite couple is Sophia Caro and Gerhard Jaeger. I feel that their love story displayed promise and hope against the backdrop of war.

Fioretta and Giuliano are quite an interesting couple. I loved their scenes. But I also liked the complexity between Alex and Angela.

My favorite couple was Fioretta Gorini and Giuliano de Medici. I found it interesting that they were real people and most of the scenes of their lives that were portrayed in the book actually happened.

I think I enjoyed Fioretta and Guiliano's relationship more. It just seemed sweeter to me even though it ended so horribly. I think I am more biased towards their relationship since I love the historical aspects of it.

I like Angela and Alex best, because I feel they are the best developed characters.

I liked Gerhard and Sophia's story the most and wished it were developed more. I wanted to learn more about their lives together, their daring escape, and the months following their flight. I loved the integration of the letter from Gerhard to his mother. I felt like that developed his character more.

I will say Giuliano and Fioretta. There was something fascinating about their story, and theirs felt even more forbidden for their time period.

My favorite couple from this book was Fioretta and Giuliano because I could feel the sparks between them and loved their synergy. I was captivated by Fioretta's sharp mind and opinions about art. Also, I think the author perfectly illustrated their connection that transcended spatial and temporal barriers.
