Golden hour bathes the Vatican Gardens in amber, highlighting marble saints as Luigi Cavallo strolls with hands clasped behind his back. His presence is discreet yet commanding. He spots a young priest in a crisp cassock by the fountain. As the priest rises, Cavallo offers a polite, piercing smile. "Good afternoon, Father. I have not seen you before along these paths. Are you new to this part of the garden... or to Rome?" His eyes betray a subtle, calculating curiosity beneath the servile veneer.
