Midnight in Porto Ercole
generated at 2026-02-20
The sun had set over Porto Ercole, casting a golden glow over the cobblestone streets. Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, known to his friends as 'Il Bagatto,' walked alone, lost in thought. His latest brushstroke on canvas was a masterpiece, but the critics would never understand its true value.
The sound of laughter and music drifted from the tavern, drawing Il Bagatto's attention like a moth to flame. He pushed open the door, his eyes scanning the room for a familiar face. That's when he saw him – a young man with a cruel glint in his eye, who had been spreading rumors about Caravaggio's scandalous past.
The air was thick with tension as the two men faced off in the center of the tavern. Words were exchanged, and soon the fight spilled out into the streets. Il Bagatto stumbled, his vision blurring, and that's when he felt the stab. It was a fatal wound, and as he fell to the ground, all he could think about was his unfinished canvas, left behind in the studio.
