After Dark The Professor's Story of the Yellow Mask Part First Chapter II

In which we are introduced to the sculptor Luca Lomi’s workshop, where skilful hands and keen eyes fashion marble and clay into striking representations, while a delicate tension brews among the young nobleman Fabio, the model Nanina, and Maddalena Lomi, Luca’s impassioned daughter. Within these marbled walls, discussions of art, love, and family secrets unfold quietly, shadowed by the priest Father Rocco’s grave concerns about inheritance and duty to the Church.
