(Naples 1929)

Episode #1

Olivia Aligheri just arrived at the Naples train station and discovered that some of her luggage is missing ! .. She’s absolutely certain she’s been targeted by the local music gang known as the The Petruzzi Pals who’ve nabbed her coveted , family-heirloom : their centuries-old concertina !!! … Now what should she do ?? She can’t notify the Naples polizia ; they’re corrupt and probably in on it . Her stolen musical instrument is probably in the backroom of some wild ’n’ crazy pasticceria (pastry and coffee shop) fronting as a legit business in the old Spanish quarter of downtown Naples !!! … Stay tuned as Olivia … decides to enlist her own group of wacky, zany friends to help her find the beloved concertina before the New Year’s Eve concert at Santa Maria Assunta cathedral
