The Don's Young Love (The Don's of Italy Saga Book 2) Age Gap Romance

Episode 1: Family Glossary (The La Vecchia Legacy)

The La Vecchia family has long dominated both Florence, Italy, and Manhattan, New York, with power and influence that spans decades. Steeped in tradition and loyalty, they command the East and West sides of these regions, enforcing a powerful reign over the underworld. Power, for the La Vecchia, isn't merely passed down—it's earned, defended, and wielded with ruthless precision.

At the heart of this empire was Don Egidio Mirko La Vecchia, the family's patriarch, who built the foundation with his bare hands, adhering to the unbreakable Cosa Nostra code where loyalty reigns supreme. Now retired, he passed control to his eldest son, Don Azeglio Bento La Vecchia. At 47, Azeglio has embraced his role as the new Don for the past three years, ruling with an iron fist. Feared and respected, he expertly maneuvers through intricate webs of alliances and rivalries, ensuring the family's dominance remains unchallenged.

For the La Vecchias, family is the core of their power, and their strength lies in their unwavering bond. Giacomo Pasqual La Vecchia, the youngest brother, is Don Azeglio's trusted right-hand man, exemplifying the family's values of loyalty and obedience. Together, they uphold the La Vecchias' iron-clad influence, ensuring any challenge to their authority is met with swift and brutal action. In the world of Cosa Nostra, power is everything—loyalty fuels it, and respect secures it.
