Setting, um, that shouldn't be too hard... Symbols? terrible at that yeah, you know, don't ask me. I'm bad at this.
Promition style poster? Draw the big cathedral? I don't know! Sorry I couldn't help!

symbols- what exactly does this mean? Like literally little symbols or something deeper into the text? the setting- look at pictures of Italia at the time. The things such as the cathedral and such may be different, but you'll get the general idea of the design and common shapes in the architecture. theme-well you need to first think of the central themes of COF. See, my idea of the central themes, might not agree with what you think of. I think of love, loyalty, anger, power etc. narrarative hook- ditto resolution- I suppose you could draw either the Luciano/Arianna/Rodolfo/Silvia etc side of it, or the Di Chimici side. Maybe you could draw half and half, because the Luciano and Arianna side is happy, but the Di Chimici's would be mourning the death of Niccolo, and Fabrizio plotting revenge, right? Sort of like a juxtaposition within the picture? Movie promotion style poster- Oh I love drawing these type of things! hehe... For COF you could have the image of the potion bottle in the centre, and maybe the characters placed around it? Or you could draw lots of flowers, but then over them is two swords crossed- sort of signifiying Luciano and the Duke's duel? Maybe you could draw the bottom of a wedding dress (you know so it has an element of mystery) but with blood spattering the bottom. Wasn't a sentence mentioned something about that in the book? Did that help with some ideas? If you stil need more help I'd love to help... I like this sort of thing. ~Duchessa Arianna~

eek....symbols...i dunno, is it really that kind of book?
I guess...*puts on thinking cap*...well, first off, yeah, all the talismans are symbolic, in some ways, both of their owners' backgrounds and the citites they take them to (I.e. Sky and his mother's aromatherapy thing and it takes him to the city of flowers e.t.c. e.t.c).....then....
er....
I suppose you could rele stretch it and say that the building chaos in the city is sorta mirrored in the building chaos in the english character's lives....i.e. The whole mess with alice and sky....but i rele don't know that you could go very far with that point, being as it is kinda rubbish....still... xxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
