"Il Ritratto del Diavolo" by Anton Giulio Barrili is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the picturesque town of Arezzo, Italy, during the 14th century, and follows the life of Spinello Spinelli, a talented young painter and apprentice to the renowned master Jacopo da Casentino.
