    About this ebook

    Xiao was a classical and modern dancer working in Florence. She had moved here from Xi’an, China to join the Orchestra and Dance Company here. She had enormous avant garde interpretive talent. Her thin body expressed every feeling. Roberto was an important older Architect. He loved the nature of Tuscany and the culture of Florence. He had met Xiao at a reception in piazza della Signoria, after one of her dance performances. She said to Roberto, Try to think of a way you can show me you care for me without giving me gifts. I do not need fancy words or sparkling gifts. Think about real meaning. This is a story about love and passion, western and eastern culture, animated space and art, life and death.
