Massimo came from humble beginnings. Through wit, charm, and intelligent use of the cards dealt him at birth, he crafted savvy trade deals that created win-win situations for both parties. He amassed his fortune and built his trade empire by facilitating the import and sale of beautiful fabrics from exotic lands as far away as China, the Ottoman Empire, the Indies, and even the New World. VincenteTornelli is heir to that fortune. Massimo has tasked Vincente with creating a plan to advance the family from the ranks of the commoners in to nobility.
