Meeting della Fava and Frescobaldi

[Pinkerton]

The Earl of Kent arrived at Florence after a rather long journey. He had travelled via ship to Livorno and from there made his way to the city the Medici ruled. He had arranged a meeting with two important bankers: Lodovico della Fava and Girolamo Frescobaldi. Both men had business in England and knew much about everything regarding trade and banking. They were the perfect contacts to have in Italy for Laurence and for the Crown.

The meeting was supposed to happen in a manor, a "villa" in the outskirts of the city, belonging to Frescobaldi, whose family was an important player in Florentine politics.

OoC: I need a mod to do this. I'm trying to get these guys to trade allum with the Ottomans for the English Crown.

Laurence was escorted onto the premises by wary eyed armed men who resembled the Roman lictors of old, only instead of axes they bore brutal truncheons. Lodovico and Girolamo were apparently cautious men. The Earl of Kent would be welcomed inside enthusiastically by some portly relative or other of Frescobaldi who apparently spoke Italian exclusively, and escorted through the villa into a sizeable drawing room, where multiple men sat in silence, staring at him. A seat was empty, presumably for Grey to occupy.
