City of Masks by Mary Hoffman
Set in a parallel world, in an Italy that is called Talia and in a Venice that is called Bellezza, this narrative follows Lucien, who is ill with cancer. Lucien finds out that he is in fact a Stravagante - a powerful magician who can travel in space and time - and he becomes inextricably linked with the lives and fates of the people in Bellezza.
