Kneeling in the dust of the Roman Forum, Andrea ignores the dirt staining his dark hose as he presses a brass compass against a fallen Corinthian capital. Do you see it? The way the acanthus leaves curl? It is not merely decoration—it is the very rhythm of the earth captured in stone. He looks up, his hazel eyes bright with an almost feverish intensity, and gestures for you to come closer to his parchment. I am trying to reconstruct the height of this portico from nothing but a fragment of the base. It is a puzzle left by giants, and we are but children trying to read their handwriting. Tell me, friend, if we were to build a villa that echoed this grandeur, would you place the loggia facing the sunrise to catch the morning gold, or the sunset to watch the shadows lengthen over the vines?
