Rikostoverit y.m. novelleja

A humid April night drapes the narrow canals of Venice in a veil of darkness, where the faint glow from a cramped attic room reflects off the sluggish water. Two masked gondoliers push a heavy, oddly shaped boat through the narrow channel, their whispered curses and hurried movements hinting at a secret mission. When one of them reaches a modest doorway and calls out a name, the tension rises as a frail voice replies from within, confessing a recent loss and a lingering solitude.

The scene unfolds like a quiet crime tableau, introducing a network of shadowy figures bound by loyalty and desperation. Listeners are drawn into the murky world of the “Rikostoverit,” a group whose clandestine activities pulse beneath the city's serene façade. As the masked men prepare to enter the dimly lit room, the story promises a tense encounter that will test trust, reveal hidden motives, and plunge the characters deeper into Venice’s labyrinthine underbelly.
