(4) 4-6 Rebel Genius series. In a fantasy world based on Renaissance Italy, art is magical and artists have "Geniuses" (bird-like manifestations of the artist's inner-self). But a despotic ruler has outlawed art, killing people's Geniuses. Orphan Giacomo discovers his Genius then joins forces with three young artists-in-hiding to obtain Sacred Tools. Though animation-director DiMartino's writing stumbles at times, his world-building is complex and creative and the adventure is captivating.
