VITTORIO FERRARO
CHARACTER PROFILE
Cultural Background: Italian-Winstonian
What he refuses to do: Wear anything but Italian three-piece hand-made suits. Even in a heat-wave.
Oddly specific influence on Winstonian culture: Every bar in the country carries a bottle of Limoncello, just in case Don Vittorio Ferraro happens to stop by.
To the world: his name is both feared for his precision and power moves, and revered for his immaculate Winstonian Gentleman etiquette.
Behind closed doors: he pours over the notes of his belated mentor Vivina De Fiore, to make sure he keeps within the legal lines and honors his vow to her.
​
THE INEVITABLE COLLISION
His plan was to marry off the heiress to the De Fiore family to a man that is easy to control, so it doesn’t interfere with his hostile takeover of the Founding Family company. But having spent years correcting Valentina De Fiore’s manners, press releases, life choices and withholding a seat at the board from her; he has accidentally positioned himself as the last man in the world she wants to submit to.
​
The question is whether he can reverse the damage to her trust he has spent years controlling her to achieve.
