'Know, that Durante saw Bice once, during afternoon passagiata, district
San Martin al Vescovo, sestiere San Pier Maggiore, not yet a Duomo, or
Brunelleschi's dome, but to create conditions, temperate and timely,

Crisis, scandal after scandal, and darkest abuse, with good news, via,
An infant's name and Easter'...
