Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 3467 Painter's Window (Part 2)
Lorenzo de' Medici once said that Ludovico Sforza controlled the fate of the whole of Italy.
However, in the first few days of 1477, Ludovico was traveling in France for leisure and understanding the world. During that time, he received the news of his brother's murder from Milan and hurried back to serve as regent for his nephew.
At that time, there was a powerful minister Simone, who arranged Ludovico to serve as a sinecure in the Court of Justice. Ludovico has been both civil and military since he was a child, and he is not a person who is willing to be second. In May, he launched a coup, but it did not succeed, so he was exiled to Pisa and began a leisurely life of hunting and entertainment.
Gian is a sickly child, just like Alessandro's second brother Cano. His father has no expectations for him, as long as he can grow up safely. Cano studied in Rome, and therefore became familiar with many Roman nobles. When the Vatican held a secret meeting in Venice, Cano was also there, and "conveniently" bought a banker's mansion in Piazza Venezia. At that time, a count in Venice was in urgent need of working capital, so he sold it at a low price.
Marno was studying in France. He took down the sculpture that was originally placed in the living room and gave it to the Directory officials who came to visit his home. Later, the sculpture appeared in the Louvre. He was a very generous person, and even Madame Recamier often entertained him.
The Torlonia family was almost indulgent in collecting art. They even bought the Giustinini collection, which has been the leader in Rome for two centuries.
Ciconiara and Fredelli had to "pan" by themselves, just like panning for gold, filtering out some dregs, while the Torlonia family directly bought all the collections of others.
Alessandro also had two sisters, both of whom married "papal nobles". The eldest sister Maria Theresa's marriage was set when she was 1 year old.
Giovanni was in charge of the Pope's charity fund, but it was his wife Anna Maria who really wove social relations. She played an extremely important role in charity activities.
When lunch was almost over, the priest who was going to sprinkle holy water came. This time, it was not Elder Gabrio himself, but a priest from the Visconti family.
Although the deceased Archbishop of Milan also had the surname Visconti, the position of Archbishop was not hereditary.
In short, when the priest left, Caroline gave him a small bag with jingling gold coins in it as a ceremonial donation.
When sprinkling holy water, the priest had to read a eulogy. From dust to dust, from earth to earth, the Archbishop himself had read it countless times, but he did not expect that his day would come so suddenly.
He did not leave a will. If he was a secular person, his estate would also have a legal order of inheritance.
The magic world has a set of magical basis. Whether it is a unicorn or a basilisk, they are all animals. Tom Riddle believed that he was the heir of Slytherin based on the basilisk cultivated by Slytherin and only obeyed his orders.
This set of rules is quite confusing, so the "Unicorn Trail" ceremony has been abolished for many years until it was brought up again by Grindelwald.
Georgiana asked Delmid to be the messenger of lighting the fire tonight. In fact, Murat's children were also suitable... Anyway, Caroline and Paulina didn't make a fuss about it.
After Ash Wednesday, fasting began. No meat could be eaten on Friday and Wednesday. The young people urged Georgiana to bring her hawk out to play.
In the past, there was a rodent called pika in Italy, but they were almost extinct. It was hunted by these hunters who claimed to "eliminate harm for the people."
Pikas are not real rabbits, and their breeding ability is not good. So after hunting, only Corsica is left.
She felt that she should stop it, but she remembered "Miss Know-It-All". Others just asked to see her hawk, but didn't say to take the hawk hunting.
So she asked someone to bring the bird, and most people played with it, and by the way, they saw its ability to grab and dive.
She really knew nothing about hunting. She didn't even know to put a bell on the falcon, so that even if she couldn't see where it was, she could judge it by the sound.
Alessandro didn't go. He stayed at the table, as if he had other "prey".
Paulina had no interest in him and was concentrating on drinking pink wine.
Caroline took the excuse of her pregnancy and went to rest with the help of servants.
"How about taking a walk?" Georgiana asked with a smile.
"Okay." Alessandro stood up very straightforwardly, and walked in the garden with her arm in a gentlemanly way.
For a moment, he reminded her of Cedric.
However...
"What are your hobbies? Mr. Torlonia?" Georgiana asked with a sweet smile.
"Making money." Alessandro said in fluent English "Also, don't call me that, 'Mr. Torlonia' is my father."
"Didn't you say you were going to find a sculptor to design a new candlestick?" Georgiana asked "Are you not interested in art?"
"Not as obsessed as my father, I think Leonardo da Vinci is a very innovative person, how about we continue that experiment?" He said excitedly.
"Then we have to go back to the castle and find the carpentry workshop first." Georgiana said.
"Do you know where it is?" Alessandro said.
"Look." Georgiana pointed to the tower of the small fortress. "Even I can't go in there casually."
There are many secret drawings in it.
At this time, Georgiana remembered the drawings that Simon took out of his sleeve last night...
"Can you tell me what kind of person Napoleon is?" Alessandro asked, looking at the small fortress.
"Genius." Georgiana said without hesitation, "and a bad temper, who knows when he will explode."
Alessandro looked at her in surprise.
"Or do you want to hear me sing his praises of his greatness?" Georgiana asked.
"In that case, I have heard a lot from other people... What do you usually talk about with him?" Alessandro asked.
"Literature, and history, how are you in math and physics?" Georgiana asked.
"I don't like literature, whether it's novels or textbooks." He said with a smile.
"What are you laughing at?" She asked with a stern face.
"Do you really like math and physics?" Alessandro asked.
"I've been wondering what your advantages are." She smiled falsely. "If you don't read literature, what do you usually read?"
"Can't I have other hobbies besides reading?" Alessandro asked.
"Do you want to go hunting or play cards?" Georgiana asked.
"I like reading newspapers." Alessandro said.
"Wow." Georgiana exclaimed, "You remind me of someone."
"Who?"
"A retired old gentleman who drinks tea or coffee and reads newspapers." She smiled, "Although you look more than 20 years old."
Alessandro didn't speak.
"Don't you have any other hobbies that young people like?" Georgiana said.
"I want more insights, and newspapers provide a different perspective." Alessandro said, "Just like traveling, do you think this is a hobby for young people, Georgiana?"
She lowered her head and looked at the green grass under her feet, as if she could see the "city" underground through it.
"I'll take you somewhere." As she said that, she walked towards the castle.
