[M][N] Holy Guardians - Chapter 2 - Page 2

Andrezza is 16, Lucca Gallo Ricci is her brother, Lucca Ricci and Michela, parents, and Mario and Francesca, grandparents. She feels a little bit detached because she doesn’t really like their routine, nor their company. She prefer the books she is reading. Yeah, the books are fine. “Crime and Punishment” is a great read. If her brother could just shut up for once. Then she could read the Divine Comedy as soon as possible.

The grandmother. Francesca Ricci was studying Law when she met Mario, her husband. They fell in love and she decided to stop trying so hard to be a lawyer, because, well, there are already lot of them. She joined her loved one in his restaurant, “La Premiata”, and thank god she did, because her pastries are the reason the restaurant got its first Michelin star. Mother of Rafaello, Antonio and Lucca, three boys, and grandfather to Lucca Gallo Ricci and Andrezza Gallo Ricci. You never really liked Michela Gallo Ricci, their mother, and married to your son Lucca.

Antonio Ricci, the slob. 40 years and still living with parents, but no job at all. All he does is wake up, turn on his videogame and play until it is dark. But he is always ready to help the family if they need it. Mario is not feeling well? He will make a tea and call the doctor. Francesca is sad? He will talk to her until she feels well. Unfortunately, his unsuccessful life makes the other family members minimize all his efforts, making him less eager to get his life together. Snowballing, it is.

Michela Gallo Ricci is married to Lucca Ricci. She is from a rich family, the Gallo’s, that own a farm that produces one of the finest olive oils of the world. She got pregnant from Lucca when she was 17, although she wasn’t sure if she was in love at that time. But, well, a kid will lead to a marriage. And the marriage led to love. Sometimes, love comes after. That’s what happened here. She now works with him at the restaurant, and takes care of the children at home. But, well, her family is always with her, and her snob friends sometimes are a bit of a pain in the ass to the rest of the family. At least they don’t have to spend much with olive oil, right?

The youngest of the brothers, and the most handsome, too. Got Michela Gallo Ricci pregnant when they were 17. They were in love. At least Lucca was. The pregnancy led to a marriage. The marriage led to living together. The responsibilities of taking care of a child led to the need of having a job. The need of having a job made him a chef in the family restaurant. They now both work there, and although still living with parents, they have a happy life. They now have two kids, Lucca Gallo Ricci, 19 and Andrezza Gallo Ricci, 16..

Fiona Marino Ricci is married to Rafaello. They met at college and both became great lawyers. They live by managing the legal part of the family restaurant “La Premiata”, but Fiona also is very engaged with pro bono jobs and became a teacher at her university.
