My Grand-grand-mother Gina had been a baby sitter, a "balia" as they would say, for the Prince Chigi's son and daughter.
She left her three young children with her husband and her older daughter, Clelia (my grand-mother), and lived in Rome for the greatest part of the year.
Tuscan young women were said to be great and strong women, good for raising children.
Prince Chigi's son and daughter one day came and visited my grand-grand-mother Gina, when I was a baby. She was very old.
I remember only two shadows and long legs walking and the excitement in the neighborohood that two famous princes would came in our house.
