FIRENZE
NOVEMBRE 9tkToday is the birthday of Medici's daughter; Clarissa, Clarice, does it matter? The wine is flowing freely and the whole city is in an uproar that grows worse the closer one gets to the
Piazza della Signoria. The pulsing heart of the city.
Perhaps the noise roused you from sleep only to find an unfamiliar ceiling. Perhaps you were awake already, your curiosity prompting you to jostle with the cheering crowd to see what the commotion is all about (and why there's a
giraffe sticking out like a sore thumb among the drunken dancing mob). Perhaps you were among those who planned the festivity, made the
torrone and painted the masks for the
Commedia dell'arte.
Whoever you are, whether nobility or commoner, this party is for you, everyone,
no one.
