This is Pilar, her full name is Maria Emilia Ortona Pilar de Astha y de Aya. I met her at the Via Cesare Battista 6 Carabinieri Police station where she reported that someone had stolen her purse with all her money, cards and documents. Pilar is a researcher of early music at the University of Valladolid and was still very happy that her request to see Palestrina's early draft for "Stabat Mater", at the Vatican Library was approved. She never found her purse, but her friend Gianni took Pilar to Roscioli's for some Arrabiata and a glass of Chianti.
