#Giulia Morosini

Year 1673

While the losses in Tartosa were weighing heavily on the family's mind, in Henford the Carlisle home was a bustle of activity. Sadly everyone there could relate to the losses felt but with the support, Orelia was doing as well as she could given the circumstances.

Gianna and Roberto were more than happy to help their son and granddaughter following their loss though it was hard to think of such a young lady being taken from the family like that they did their best. It was hard though since little Marina was only two when her mother passed. She didn't quite understand beyond that Orsa was gone now. As Spring came again, Roberto was already suggesting that Alessandro remarry as his daughter did need a mother in her life and while they would support him, it wasn't as if they were getting any younger.

It had been months since the loss of his sister but slowly but surely, Giovanni Cesare started to feel more normal as he got back to playing.

In Henford, Sarah was happy to share that she and Antonio were expecting once again and while both of them were fearful remembering the loss of their first son, they were hopeful that this time would be different and they weren't alone as not only were they expecting but so was Orelia.

Now that the losses weren't so fresh, Giulia did her best to cheer up for her sons that were still with her especially Giovanni Cesare as he was young enough to still need her help and support more than her oldest who she supported more by helping with the triplets.

With the triplets getting older and each day growing more independent, Ashley felt more confident in her skills as a mother though she feared another pregnancy as three was a handful already and the idea of a fourth or fifth or a dreaded sixth made her head spin. Giuliano was more than happy to try and avoid another pregnancy but more because he was eager to get back to having time to themselves as a couple, something the pair rarely did with three little ones always wanting attention.

Still as the year came to a close and the triplets were all sleeping though the night, albeit inconsistently, the young couple was happy to rest and reconnect together as they gossiped about how it wouldn't be long now until their kids were old enough to play not only with Marina but Katharine and Leonardo were expecting their first as was the Collari couple even with their issues, so the pair were already anticipating their free time in the next few years and celebrated the fact that they had three healthy children.

Varese, parte la rassegna “Nord in giallo”

Varese, “Nord in giallo”. “Nord in giallo”, la rassegna varesina dedicata alla narrativa noir contemporanea, estende il suo programma con un fuori festival che prende il via dalle librerie della città. Sono quattro gli incontri che vedono protagonisti altrettanti scrittori del panorama noir contemporaneo. Primo appuntamento per giovedì 6 ottobre alle 18.00 nella Libreria degli Asinelli, in via Bagaini, con Flavio Villani, che presenterà il romanzo La banda degli uomini, edito da Neri Pozza. Il secondo incontro sarà invece alla Libreria Ubik di piazza Podestà: venerdì 7 ottobre alle 18.00 sarà presente Fausto Vitaliano, autore di Scritto sulla sabbia, edito da Bompiani. La libreria Ubik ospita anche il terzo appuntamento: sabato 8 ottobre alle 18.00 Filippo Venturi presenterà il romanzo E' l'umido che ammazza di Mondadori. Infine, giovedì 20 ottobre alle 18.00 alla Libreria Mondadori di via Morosini sarà presente Antonio Fusco, che introdurrà il suo romanzo Io sono l'indiano, edito da Rizzoli. “L'effetto contaminazione del festival è tangibile nel coinvolgimento delle librerie cittadine, che si sono attivate organizzando incontri dedicati agli autori – spiega l'assessore alla Cultura Enzo Laforgia - un'occasione per tutti gli appassionati di questo genere di scoprire il dietro le quinte dei romanzi noir e conoscere le tendenze legate al giallo e al mistero”. Il festival Nord in giallo, a Varese dal 9 al 16 ottobre, è la manifestazione dedicata alla narrativa noir contemporanea, per indagare su delitti e misteri ambientati tra la Valle d’Aosta e il Friuli Venezia Giulia....

Year 1680 - Part 2

TW/CW: Death Mention, Child Death

While Giuliano reeled from the devastation that was losing his wife and three more of their children, life still went on.

Orelia found the time to seduce locals, mostly wealthy individuals who's idea of adventure was sharing a bed with a sailor.

The Bailey family was grew as the youngest was old enough to start walking around behind her brother but when Giovanni Cesare wasn't working he more concerned with his own daughter than his wife's half-siblings.

Elisabetta grew into a sweet child to her parent's delight and maybe it was because she was less fragile as she grew and less likely to pass but Vivienne began to make an effort to bond with their daughter now that she was a few months old.

Back in Tartosa, Katharine was delighted that her dear sister became a teenager in October especially as she was finally expecting again after years of trying but that didn't last as her son passed away in November and her Aunt Gabriella in December.

Giuliano spent a few minutes each day speaking to his late wife in hopes that she would feel his enduring love for her beyond the grave.

Marina spent more and more time at the Morosini home because of their shared loss and the fact that she could tell that her father's widow was just waiting for the appropriate time to remarry and it was uncomfortable being in a home where the adult was clearly just biding their time though admittedly, Alessandra did her best to care for not only her late husband's children but his young orphaned sister as well despite it all.

As the losses softened with time, Giuliano did go out of his way to give all his love to Ricciardi as his only surviving child. They had both lost a lot that year and doting on the boy made it easier to move on and the relief they felt when the rains finally came to wash away the illness of stagnation made things feel hopeful once more.

Ashley's spirit returned to the family to watch over her beloved and her last remaining child as she shared news with Giuliano that their other children had already moved on to whatever came next for them which they could only hope was a good thing but the both of them were glad to see each other again after nearly a year apart.

The year ended in the Bailey house as the attempt for a son for Mr.Bailey was confirmed to have resulted in a pregnancy.
