How do a skirmish in the Italian Alps during WWII, a cache of looted art, and a plot to steal a seemingly worthless painting connect to a Canadian restaurateur Claudia Valli? When Claudia embarks on an emotional voyage from the West Coast of Canada to Geneva Switzerland to attend her uncle Renato's memorial service, she meets up with Michael, the son of Renato's longtime friend Katia. As their liaison gains momentum, so does Claudia's quest for answers about her uncle's past prompted by his journal and fueled by a recent plot to steal the painting her uncle had sent her prior to his death-a painting considered to be worthless by Katia, an art expert. The tale of emotional personal revelations, love, war and survival, unfolds from its central plot into various subplots through Renato's diary accounts as a partisan and Claudia's quest to unravel the mystery behind the painting she has dubbed The Capizzi Madonna.

Luisella Levi Garlick was born in Italy and lived there until the age of seven. Since leaving Italy she has lived in Israel, Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, where she pursued careers in business and education-finally settling in Canada twenty two years ago where she pursued a career as a restaurant owner and consultant, whereupon retiring, she committed her father's story to paper. THE CAPIZZI MADONNA was inspired by her father's exploits as a partisan in Italy during WWII, and although he died when she was seven, she grew up with tales of his heroism.
