The story begins here...

 The rumbling of the FIAT 1100 halted with a shudder, and Luigi Mari breathed a sigh of relief. He rolled down the window, clearing away the layer of dust that had coated the glass on the road from Fiesole. "Thank goodness we’ve made it, my dear." His wife Iolanda, who was more mindful, already had her compact mirror in hand and had begun her usual routine, which would conclude with a touch-up of her lipstick under the veil of her hat. "I told you the trip from the Lungarno in Florence would be short," she replied with an exhale. The taxi driver emerged from the car to ring the bell attached to a column of the imposing main gate. Leaning out the window, Mari observed the large agave plants spread out between the boundary wall and the fortification of the gatehouse, softened by a bed of geraniums and caper bushes.
