When Jacopo came back home,
he could not have ever imagined that in a few hours
he would have found himself running for his life
across the most mesmerizing maze ever built,Venice.
He would have never believed
he would be dragging himself like a wounded animal,
breathless and clueless
through the alleys and across the canals of the city,
desperately trying to extricate a murder he did not commit,
to find the key of the mysterious labyrinth of events
he had entered without even noticing...
