La stanza del vescovo
by Chiara Piero
Summer 1946. World War II has just come to an end and there’s a yearning for renewal. A man in his thirties is sailing on Lake Maggiore, hoping to put off the inevitable return to work. Dropping anchor in a small, fashionable port, he meets the enigmatic owner of a nearby villa who invites him home for dinner with his older wife and beautiful widowed sister-in-law. The sailor is intrigued by the elegant waterside mansion and stays in a room previously occupied by a bishop. The two men share the same taste for idling and erotic adventures and sail together making new conquests. But tragedy puts an abrupt halt to this tranquillity. What really happened on the dock?
