Vecchie storie d'amore

In a sun‑lit castellated valley, a young valet named Ugo spends his days weaving between chores, jokes, and the gentle rhythms of Miss Ginevra’s household. He is treated almost as a son, tolerated by the lord, yet his playful servitude masks a deeper, growing admiration for the lady whose voice drifts like an albatross over the fields. The castle walls echo with his restless energy—climbing orchards, teasing the steward, even spying behind doors—while Ginevra’s laughter and song linger at his windows, stirring both delight and unease.

As Ugo reaches his fifteenth year, the spark of adolescence ignites a restless longing that outpaces his duties. The world beyond the garden seems suddenly vast, and the sensations of first love begin to gnaw at his confidence. He finds himself torn between the safety of his role and the bold, unspoken desire to be more than a shadow at the lady’s side, fearing the lord’s watchful eye even as his heart races toward a future he cannot yet name.
