Xxxxxx is a mystery a puzzle to be solved, some think she was French, others say she came from Farming Village in the mountains of the Veneto, still others say she is a Disgraced Jewess...but what is known of her to be true and rumour, are just such... Stories far too sad to tell, of a young girl sold by destitute parents to a Villain, a devil disguised as a Saint... Who had a taste for young girls with beautiful voices... a Small child singing a funeral song for a dead starling...who fate put in the path of a madman... the story of how she survived and vaulted into Riches, Prominence and Infamy have yet to be revealed...

Residence & Business:

Unlike the grand Palazzo Columba in Rome... Croce Appannata (The Tarnished Cross) is a simple, narrow palazzo with three floors, located in Venezia’s Sestieri Dorsoduro. The building faces the small tributary that passes the building front, and accommodates a small landing for embarking the gondola for vessel access to the Grand Canal.

The portal of the palazzo is made of Istrian marble, in a rectangular shape, surmounted by Borromini's false-perspective windows on its perimeter, decorated with checkered patterns.

The ground floor is used as a lobby for arriving guests and business transactions, or venue to the bath area;
and the *piani nobili* (noble floors) on the top two floors; with...

--- The second floor is used for formal entertaining; specifically, in the great hall, situated with finer views, especially on the largest bend of the Grand Canal; and more practically to avoid the dampness and odors of the street level with its larger windows and balconies and open loggias; and smaller rooms for more personal and intimate discussions; and...

--- The third floor is strictly for private use, with large bedrooms, often connected by ornate doors.
The rear of the building has a garden known as a giardino segreto ("secret garden"), for its concealment from an outsider's view.
