Cenacolo by Joseph Orbi
Joseph Orbi's Cenacolo is a historical novel of intrigue, unbearable suspense and forbidden love. Its principal characters are some of the giants of the Renaissance; Leonardo Da Vinci, Nicc lo Machiavelli, Ludovico Sforza and esare Borgia, depicted, not like the mythical figures they became, but as they were, men driven by passion; working, loving, striving and simply trying to survive one of the most exciting periods in history.
Someone said once that Joseph Orbi either has led a very interesting life or he suffers from delusions. Truth is, no one else can claim they have played fetch with Rin-Tin-Tin, tried to buy the entire Air Force of the Dominican Republic, warned a Department of Defense spokesman against selling F-14 to pre-Islamic Iran, predicted Israel's raid on Entebbe, met Argentina's Juan Perü¾Œ¶˜¼n at breakfast, danced with a Broadway star (stepping all over her toes), beaten an Oscar-winning movie star at tennis, performed as a clown in a circus, worked in movies, was consigliere (advisor) to an opera company, became a successful advertising executive, and even appeared twice as principal guest in two Phil Donahue shows. It is those eclectic and zany life experiences that have molded Joseph Orbi's fascinating and unpredictable writing that somersaults between black comedy, historical drama and political thrillers. Other works by Joseph Orbi: Peter's Choice, Il Cenacolo, and Soldeluna. His plays are Pendejo, Il Cenacolo, Murder A Capella and the musical McQuicker's Place (music and lyrics by Mr. Orbi). Mr. Orbi has also written several screenplays including The Bet, Murder A Capella (based on his play), Los Hermanos Gü¾Œ¶˜¼mez, and Diplo.
