The City of Light and La Citta Eterna . . .


Ronan had danced all night long with a gorgeous girl in Paris, then strolled along the Left Bank and sipped espresso from a sidewalk cafĂ©. He saw the sun rise over the City of Light from the crest of the Sun King’s bridge.

He had been to many great castles and cathedrals and retraced a forefather’s footsteps to look upon his ancestral land from high atop the Acropolis. Another adventuring ancestor had traveled from the north of Italia to halfway around the world to start his family lineage. On Ronan’s return he threw three coins into the Trevi Fountain, revered the Florentine Renaissance, rowed the Canals of Venice, drove along the cliffs of the Almalfi Coast, saw the Colosseum and the glory that was Rome.
