在美第奇家族“伟大的洛伦佐”洛伦佐·德·美第奇（Lorenzo de' Medici）势力影响下的佛罗伦萨，是意大利文艺复兴的重镇，这也是该城市历史上最为辉煌的时期之一。由于洛伦佐本人对艺术的热爱和支持，文化影响力渗透到社会政治、经济领域，也布满了佛罗伦萨的大街小巷：艺术家们在宫廷、教堂和贵族私宅中留下诸多令人惊叹的艺术创作；然而在繁荣的另一面，当地教会与罗马教廷的角力、银行家与商贾大家族的争端、以及国家地区间的同盟选择，均伴生着复杂的权谋和残酷的暴力。这个时期有一位艺术家的经历和作品，比其他任何人都更能投射出一个非凡时代的风起云涌，他就是桑德罗·波提切利（Sandro Botticelli，本名Alessandro Filipepi）。 波提切利在美第奇家族掌权期间，受到政治、经济和文化地位上庇佑，他那些富于宗教人文主义思想、世俗精神的创作应运而生...。Bipedalism, or 'two-footed walking', is the story of a painter who grew up in an orphanage and only years later learns the circumstances of his father's disappearance and death. Childhood memories bring the main character back to the past: he buys a house in the suburbs that used to belong to his family. In the basement, he finds his father's archives and scientific research documents on the hybridization of human race with related biological species. Studying the archive material, he unexpectedly finds evidence of efforts to renew the experiments on the remaining hybrid population. The painter then becomes a researcher, and consequently a victim. The basic idea of his father's research was to change, control and influence the process of human evolution - initially connected with eugenics theories of the period before World War II, and now being placed in a context of modern 'biotechnological' expectations by his former colleagues. The main character tries to recreate and realize his father's heritage, who was forced to cooperate with state terror organizations, using the results of his secret research. In a tragic manner, this information turns into the main character's reality, at first forcing him to reappraise his father's values and later driving him to madness.
