Fiorile AKA Wild Flower Page #3

---

So that she may tenderly warm him

Leading him straight

Toward the spring water

Leading him straight

Toward the spring water

What a cheeky young man.

- They are coming to arrest us.

- What are you talking about?

Shut up. Just shut up.

We haven't done anything.

That's all humbug,

the things they say.

Plus, it's all stories

that go back 100 years.

Calm down, calm down.

I apologize.

My little brother was overcome

by emotion, as you just saw.

We received a message from Rome.

It's from the Minister

Grand Chevalier Morziani.

It's a well-wishing message.

I cut a sorry figure.

"I have learned with rejoicing spirit

about your intention

to run for the Parliament

of the Kingdom.

Our beloved Tuscany needs

to be represented by men like you,

new, enterprising men,

who intend to devote their energies

in the service of the country.

I'll see you soon in Rome."

- To Rome!

- To Rome!

To Rome!

To Rome.

To Rome.

To Rome.

To Rome. To Rome.

To Rome.

I promised you a Medicean dinner.

Now, as Lorenzo, as the Medici did,

tonight I will eat without cutlery.

With my hands.

And I invite you all to do the same.

Wait!

Come on, there's no time, Elisa!

Easy now.

- How long before your family leaves?

- Less than three hours left.

Give me a hand.

- I liked the Medici's verse.

- Nice, wasn't it?

But it wasn't Lorenzo's verse.

I made it up.

- As soon as I saw you walk in.

- Really?

How did your verse go?

May she set her little sparrow

Free from the birdcage

To let her freely sing

The little sparrow

wants to freely sing.

May she then let her meet

the little bird

so that she may warm him tenderly.

You see?

He's trying to remind me.

I have to go, Elisa.

You don't want me to become cruel

because of love, do you?

No, no.

But come back early

tomorrow morning, Elio.

I am like your dog.

I can't live away from you.

- Come on, hurry up! Come on!

- Is this the time to show up?

Don't you know that tomorrow

we have to be in Genova?

There was the party.

It's not my fault.

Be ready in a minute.

There's no time.

Get ready? For what?

- You are coming with us.

- Me?

- It's Master Alessandro's decision.

- Aren't you happy?

We'll be hugging our father

in Buenos Aires within a month.

What is it that Alessandro decided?

Everyone or no one.

This is the deal.

He is paying for our trip.

And you are part of the family, too.

And please, Elio,

don't tell anyone, okay?

No one has to know about it

until we get there.

I can't.

Go to your mother. Go, go.

Take this for the trip.

But I can't.

You know it, because...

I know.

And Alessandro knows it, too.

He is a good man.

At first, he said it was okay.

And then he said it was enough.

It's the right thing.

Go away, or I'll strangle you!

Help me!

And me?

Who is going to help me?

Look up at me.

You are my son.

But you are also a man.

Look at me.

Look at me like your father will

when he'll see us arrive.

Ten years is a long time.

I was young then.

No, you must look at me!

You will write her from there.

You will explain it.

You'll see that one day...

I don't want to get old like you.

I won't wait.

I am staying here with Elisa.

Lido! Renato!

At least let me speak to her.

Mother, we are ready.

The furnishing for the study,

shall we ship it next week to Rome?

Yes, yes. Next week.

There's no hurry.

Aren't you a little grown-up

to still be playing marbles?

I am bored.

Deputy.

Idiot.

- Massimo!

- Yes, sir.

Pack for my brothers, too.

I can't stand to see you like this.

I am taking you both to Rome with me.

- To Rome? Really?

- Get ready.

You look good dressed like this,

Alessandro.

You are very elegant.

Come away from these windows.

- I won't leave you here on your own.

- You're not abandoning anyone.

Elisa, you have to forget him.

Do you think it is possible

to forget whom you hate?

Anyway, even if you wanted to, Elisa,

you couldn't have possibly

followed him.

You are afraid of the sea.

It's true!

You can't even swim!

But it's easy, you know?

Look, Elisa.

That's how you do it.

You can always practice

in your room, like I do.

But I am pregnant.

Tell me what I am supposed to do.

I don't know.

Deputy?

Out!

- I just wanted to show you...

- Later, later.

Later.

- Who knows about this?

- No one.

Listen.

You can't keep it.

It wouldn't be right.

- Neither for you, nor for him.

- And for you neither, Alessandro.

Exactly.

We'll go to Rome in a few days.

What do you think, Renzo,

if all three of us,

like we used to when we were kids,

went on a trip in a calash?

- Where to?

- To Volterra!

In Volterra, there is a woman

who will fix everything.

The air sizzles wherever you go

A flower blossoms at your every step

The air sizzles wherever you go

A flower blossoms at your every step

But if we all don't sing, it's no fun.

What was in the flower you gave me?

Maybe a potion, an arcane power?

When I touched it, my heart...

Would you like some fresh milk?

The air sizzles wherever you go

Look, there are mushrooms!

Why don't we eat here?

Throw it away.

It's poisonous.

You and I will go looking

for the good ones, Elisa,

while Alessandro

gathers some wood.

Is that okay?

Is that okay, Alessandro?

As long as you smile a little,

I am fine.

What?

What's the matter?

He moved.

Touch it.

Would you like to keep it?

He would betray me like his father.

Don't cry, Elisa.

Don't cry.

He...

Elio, he didn't betray you.

It was us.

What do you mean "us"?

What was in the flower you gave me?

Maybe a potion, an arcane power?

We...

We knew everything.

Alessandro forced the family to leave

and gave him no choice.

If they hadn't taken him with them,

he wouldn't have paid for their trip.

Really, you didn't get that?

No, I did not.

But you are afraid of the sea!

And you can't even swim!

Here he comes.

Please, don't tell him

that I told you, or he'll kill me.

Come, help me carry the wood.

You see, you remember that song.

You guys eat.

I'll go get the milk

from those farmers.

- We'll stop by them with the calash.

- No. I need to take a walk.

Renzo!

Escort me.

Let me eat first. I am hungry.

I will.

No!

Not you.

Don't leave him alone.

Down in the woods, by the lake,

you'll find my dying brothers.

Elisa wanted to overcome

her fear of water

so as to be able to cross the ocean

and join Elio.

But she never joined him.

Elisa Benedetti.

Alessandro.

Let's leave.

I don't like this.

Dad!

And the baby she kept in her belly?

The baby became

the only heir of a great fortune.

But the people of those lands,

instead of calling them

lands of the Benedetti,

called them lands of the "Maledetti."

Stupid idiots.

But Elisa's son didn't really care.

He was only interested in horses,

pretty women, and the casino.

Come on, get in the car.

- I wouldn't call him a fool.

- He must have been an odious person.

- I'll drive.

- Okay.

Anyway, the story of the gold coins

made no difference to him.
