This is Rosalba von Touche as I met her at "Enrico Rizzi" on via Correnti in Milan - she is the most delightful girl who you'd want to handle your gelato, her smile melts hearts and her hands are most beautifully shaped. Rosalba plays classical guitar, writes poetry and is a cracking tennis player (none of which translates, currently, to income) which made her mother advise her to marry somebody rich. Rosalba always listens to her mother's guiding pearls of wisdom and always ignores them. Her favorite composer is Manuel de Falla, her favorite dish is a vegetable curry, her favorite author is Jasper Fforde (she first read "Il Caso Jane Eyre" when it was translated in 2006 into Italian and then, quickly, everything else she found ... she was particularly happy that there was an Italian Translation Inspectorate that makes field trips). Rosalba does not know yet, but in a few months (Mid-November, to be precise) a life-changing event will occur, that will forever change her life forever.
