It: Nella fredda mattina d’inverno, la villa antica in Toscana pareva avvolta da un manto di mistero.

It: Le sue mura in pietra, custodi silenziose di secoli di storia, sapevano che qualcosa non andava.

It: Era il giorno dell'Epifania, una festa che riuniva ogni anno tutta la famiglia di Giorgio e Livia intorno alla tavola imbandita di cibi tradizionali.
En: It was l'Epifania, a celebration that brought all of Giorgio and Livia's family together around a table laden with traditional foods each year.

It: "Potrebbero esserci passaggi segreti."

It: "Cerchiamo."
En: "Let's look."

It: Iniziarono a esplorare.
