Benedetta's Manor

Benedetta Giovicci lived the last 14 years of her life in a Manor in GeMiTo, practically a castle, overlooking the peninsula.   You met Landalise Giovicci, a nerve-wracked woman living poorly in the all but abandoned manor.   Benedetta Giovicci was writing a letter before she died, she had written :   "Why do I feel myself evermore in these hidden horrors? Am I a fool to see the hand of man in the songs of angels? Now through the darkness I see you clearly, and there in the shadows we cast I truly wish I were mad."   Her debts were bought up by an Armenian of some wealth living in Cyprus named Reynet Satrakian, he was apparently obsessed with her.     You found a painting with an inscription on the back saying "Did you not think we would govern angels?"  

Her Room

  Paintings - 'There are three paintings, the first is an island, a very calssical work, the title is simply 'Tino, Ligura', the second is religious, but perhaps not catholic, a light descending from the dark into a classical chamber, a dark figure, face wild, pulling a child away from the light into the darkness, and the third a reproduction of Chronos eating his young.     Holoposter - the first, Two men dancing, blending into one another, becoming other people, the dance is endless, races, faces, genders - a mesmering display of impressive artistic and technical quality The second - emits AR, a symphony, but the instruments seem to be at odds with the music being played. It unnerves you to watch and listen, the dissonance fills you with a sense of wrongness.   You identify 5 books of note within her library
