A Fateful Encounter in Renaissance Venice
Venice, 1565. The air hangs heavy with intrigue as Alfeo Zeno, a sharp-witted young man with secrets of his own, escorts the stunning courtesan Violetta from the Teatro San Cassiano. Their footsteps echo off ancient stones as they navigate narrow calli where even in darkness, countless eyes watch from behind ornate masks and shuttered windows. Violetta, resplendent in crimson silk, has just finished a performance that captivated the city's nobility. Though Alfeo appears to be merely her escort, he carefully maintains his cover as a simple scribe and astrologer's assistant. Near the Rialto Bridge, they encounter Danese Dolfin, a childhood acquaintance from Alfeo's impoverished past. Once dressed in patched clothing, Danese now struts in Spanish leather with a gold-hilted sword. "Fortune has smiled upon me," he boasts, detailing sudden success in the spice trade. Alfeo, trained in observation by his master Nostradamus, notes the nervous twitch in Danese's eye and how his hand repeatedly strays to an inner pocket. In Venice, such rapid transformation from pauper to merchant prince typically carries the stench of betrayal. Across the Grand Canal, another curious scene unfolds. Girolamo Sanudo, barely thirty yet already navy minister, walks arm-in-arm with his mother Eva Morosini, who appears impossibly younger than her son. Violetta reveals that Eva's brother-in-law, Zuanbattista Sanudo, has recently become ducal counselor-one of Venice's six most powerful men. This chance encounter plants seeds of mystery that will soon blossom into danger.
