When librarians from the University of Sydney found a sketch and an inscription in the back of a 1497 copy of Dante's Divine Comedy, they called in Renaissance expert Professor Jaynie Anderson. Soon the discovery was confirmed: the sketch was by the hand of master painter Giorgione, and the inscription solved the mystery of Giorgione's life and death. A book of scholarship on that remarkable discovery has just been published by Melbourne University Press.Guest: Jaynie Anderson, Emeritus Professor and Ufficiale dell'Ordine della Stella d'ItaliaProducer: Alex Tighe
