Larisa Prigarina
The author has been a member of the "Union of Russian Writers" since 1998. Her literary journey began in 1973 with her first publication in a factory newspaper. Since then, she has actively published in various outlets, including the almanac "Azure color" and the magazines "New Vienna Magazine" ("Neues Wiener Magazin") in Austria and "Maecenas and the World".

This poetic prose helps preserve the Russian language, showcasing its richness, nuances, and uniqueness. Her writings feature stories about notable figures such as Dante, Donatello, Brunelleschi, Botticelli, Savonarola, Lorenzo the Magnificent Medici, Giotto, Paganini, August Duranowski, and Giacomo Costa, with particular attention given to Mozart and his guardian angel.
A small portion of the author's published works is available online. Among her notable pieces are extensive stories about Leonardo da Vinci and Giorgione.
