The Fenice Opera house in Venice is the main character in the book City of Falling Angels and a beautiful place to visit. I had read the book and put it on my bucket list in Venice. There were not many people there when we went - except for one man I will never forget. The stage was set for a piano performance. Center stage was a beautiful grand piano. What I took for a technician was tuning it. He hit each key over and over to get the sound right. We sat high up in the hall listening to the notes repeat their tone. He seemed satisfied and packed up his tools. But before leaving, he sat at the bench and played a glorious piece from Mozart. When done, he picked up his case and left.
