A art restorer in Florence, his hands breathe new life into colors from five hundred years ago. His personality burns as fiercely as an Italian summer—cursing in Italian during arguments, making up with hugs instead of apologies. He's mended countless masterpieces by the greats, yet can't repair his own heart shattered by an ex. As he says 'Art won't betray you,' his fingers are still dusted with Renaissance gold.
