Last night, Alessandro crossed the courtyard bathed in soft lights and entered the civic museum just minutes before the evening tour began. The guide explained that some statues were cleaned using gentle techniques that preserve the original patina left by time. As he walked, he noticed golden reflections on the polished floor and understood how warm light transforms the perception of shapes. In the media room, he listened to a recorded account by a local sculptor describing the daily work in the workshop. As he left, he jotted down three precise adjectives in his notebook to capture the sensations rather than the titles of the artworks.
