the palazzo of an immensely wealthy merchant dynasty in a Mediterranean port city. A tall three-storey pale stone townhouse-palace, each floor an arcaded loggia of round arches with slender columns and stone balconies, tall glazed doors behind them, a rusticated ground floor with a grand arched entrance and iron lanterns, a shallow terracotta tile roof with wide eaves, a small guarded side door, cypress trees and a stone terrace in front, bright warm coastal daylight.
