Additional Notes
- Images of Mercury from late Sixteenth Century Italy were of a boy wearing a winged hat, winged shoes, and a loincloth, and carrying a caduceus. Consider building a caduceus with wings big enough for modesty and have Franceschina hold it close to her chest for the whole scene.
- More than most scenarios this scenario deals with bodily functions and effluent.
- Capitano Spavento has very few scenes.
- These events are happening during Carnival time, and they have been back in Rome for five or six months.
