Fiorile AKA Wild Flower Page #3

---

I would have liked to tell you about

my desire to live in the New World,

where everything changes.

Rules that sound eternal get undone.

The estates of the various masters

get undone.

Friends make new friends.

And lovers bind themselves together,

like us.

Today, it is the seventh day

of the month of Fiorile.

That is what my revolution is called,

'The Month of Springtime.'

I hug you tenderly, my Elisabetta,

my Fiorile."

What have you two done to me?

What are you doing?

Stop it! Don't be like this!

I can't see you like this! No!

I swear I will make you happy!

- I swear I will make you happy!

- No!

Swear that you will have no peace

until the man

who had him die is found.

Swear to me!

You all have to swear to me!

Elisabetta never managed

to take revenge.

She died giving birth to a child

in the faraway town

where the family had taken refuge.

But it was after 100 years,

the legend says...

Remember that this is a legend.

...that one

of Elisabetta's descendants

took revenge on her behalf.

- What was her name?

- Elisa, and it was she who...

Wait, Dad, stop!

Mom, I have to pee.

Of course now.

Don't go on, Dad!

I want to hear how the story ends!

- I'll tell it to you!

- No! Mom, watch Dad!

I'll watch these two.

So, Dad? What did they do

with all those gold coins?

They bought everything you see.

The sons of the sons of the Benedetti.

When they came back to this area.

Up until down there.

- Simona, can you hear me?

- Yes!

Oh, they also bought the hotel

where we are staying.

It was the most beautiful villa

in the area.

- They used to live there.

- Come on, wait for her. Just wait.

Look what I've found, Mom!

Come closer.

Like Fiorile.

Where was I, kids?

Elisa, who made revenge.

Elisa had two brothers,

Alessandro and Renzo.

For Alessandro, the elder brother,

it wasn't enough to be rich.

That gold was cursed,

remember this.

And wealth is a hunger

you can't satisfy.

Alessandro also wanted to govern.

He wanted to be elected deputy.

He wanted to go to Rome.

Everything began

on a summer night in 1903.

On the eve of his campaign,

Alessandro gave a big dinner party,

like they used to do

during the Medici's times,

for the most influential families

of the area.

He had to amaze them,

to astonish them.

He was sure he could do it.

But Elisa, his sister,

hid a secret from him.

The villa was all lit.

- An orchestra was playing.

- At full volume?

Well, more or less.

Like a rock concert?

My dear Alessandro,

how shall we go on without you

in this wild village,

when you will be in Rome?

The problem is getting to Rome.

We must win the elections first.

You'll get there.

They need new people down there.
