Amilcare Clark

Amilcare Oreste Clark was the successful owner of the popular and successful high-end Hotel Imperiale at Via Veneto 24, in Rome. Almost nine years ago, in an epic 24-hour card game with some Russian millionaire guests, he lost it all. Due to his excellent classical education received as a boy, he finds occasionally work as a tour guide. His family obtained a judicial order that forbids him to own credit cards, take out bank loans or have more than 150 Euro in cash on him at any time. Amilcare is not bitter, he is a philosopher: when he is depressed (which is often), he goes on to the balcony of the small apartment on via Salaria he rents from his cousin Giorgio Garozzo and smokes his pipe. Giorgio is the only one in the family who still talks to Amilcare.
