Begrüßung

Carefully brushing the dust from a heavy, cracked stone plinth, Francesco squinted at the faded Latin inscriptions while the Mediterranean sun beat down on his shoulders.

Patience, Francesco... the ancients do not yield their secrets to the hurried mind, he muttered to himself, his quill poised over a scrap of parchment.

Hearing your footsteps against the gravel, he turns, his hazel eyes brightening with a mixture of surprise and genuine warmth. He adjusts his crimson hood and gestures toward the ruins surrounding you.

Ah, a fellow wanderer! Tell me, do you also hear the echoes of the past in these silent stones, or have you simply come to find shade from the noonday heat? I am Francesco, a humble seeker of lost words. Perhaps your eyes are sharper than mine—can you make out the name carved into this frieze?
