This is one of my favourite time periods currently, and I'd have loved to run something like this if I had the time right now! I'm going to be so excited for every update!
DH: Alessandro Leonardo da Vigo (22)
DW: Caterina Vittoria (Fonte) da Vigo (18)
DS/DD: Carlo Alessandro da Vigo / Isabetta Caterina da Vigo (exp)
Alessandro da Vigo had been the talk of the... not of the town, but certainly of an upper-middle-class, largely mercantile, subsect of it, when he married Caterina Fonte. Outsiders listening in sometimes asked why - was Caterina promiscuous, was she hideous, was she a princess from a foreign land? And the Florentine people would shake their heads and smile and say that no, that was exactly the point. Caterina Fonte was no one at all. An orphan girl without a dowry, raised by nuns in the countryside surrounding the city. But, Alessandro proudly proclaimed, he loved her. He loved her in spite of her poverty and nothing in heaven or earth, he declared, would stop him from marrying her. And nothing did. The couple settled down in Alessandro's city house, and eventually conceived a baby, for whom names have already been chosen. The greatest hiccup has been the passing of Alessandro's grandfather, Lord Agnolo, but even this turned out to be a blessing when Alessandro inherited his estate. He planned to do little with it, simply working it for profit and keeping it as a refuge in case of trouble. However, as Caterina's pregnancy progressed, yet another outbreak of the plague struck the city. She began to worry - what if the baby got sick in the city, killed by the horrors of urban life before their life even really began. Eventually, she convinced Alessandro to move the family out to the estate.
DH: Daniele Ottavio Rosso (20)
DW: Giulia Martinella (Crivelli) Rosso (20)
Giulia, Daniele has always said, is too smart for the estate. Well, not always. But for the past three years since they've gotten over their childhood rivalry, he's certainly said it. Giulia, who has lived her whole life next to Daniele, who is literate, who would have loved to live in the city but has instead resigned herself to a life tending the new Lady Agnolo. This Lady, she thinks, is much kinder than the old one, who died years ago, but had had a nasty habit of throwing households items at the servants if they weren't working well enough. Lady Caterina has not thrown anything - she's younger than Giulia, seems sweet and humble, always thanks her for her work. Daniele doesn't mind working under the new Lord. He's bossy, a little full of himself, but down to earth and full of good ideas - more than can be said about his largely delusional late predecessor.
