DH: (22) Francesco Agostino Bellini
DW: (18) Madalena Ciosa Bellini
DS/DD: (exp) Alessio Cristoforo Bellini/Serena Vittoria Bellini
DH: (20) Giotto de Vigo
DW: (20) Dolce de Vigo
Francesco was the younger son of his father, and his elder brother was the one to whom all the expectation and responsibility were imparted. He never figured he would have too many duties, and could live his life peacefully off his family's dime doing as he pleased. He enjoyed the city life and society, and though his family members occasionally needled him to look into marrying a girl from a nice family, the pressure was far more on his older brother. When he began spending time with Madalena, many expected he'd take her as a mistress. However, Madalena was devoutly religious and refused to share his bed unless she were his bride. And to everyone's shock, so he did. However, mere months after their marriage, Francesco's elder brother took sick and died, leaving behind a wife but no children. And so it was that Francesco was the family heir. Francesco has already been missing the city life that he loved. Madalena, on the other hand, is glad to be away from a society that shunned her. Here at the estate, no one has known her as anything but their lady.
Dolce and Giotto never noticed each other much as children. Giotto was a friend of Dolce's older brother, and not much interested in spending time with little girls. For her part, she thought her brother's loud and boisterous friend was annoying. Things changed as they became teenagers, though. Giotto was the first to change his mind and begin to think that Dolce was quite interesting indeed. Something of a local beauty, she gained many other admirers, and he had to work hard to gain his attentions. But he was a determined fellow, and good at getting himself heard. Secretly, Dolce favored him more than any of the others before she let it be known, as he had learned to be charming and made it well known how he admired her. But she wanted to be sure he could be committed before she would allow herself to be caught. Inevitably, they came together. Dolce is interested in seeing a fine lady from the city come to the estate, having no idea how close their circumstances once were. Giotto declares that he doubts there will be much difference between one lord and another, but secretly he's just as curious.
