xvi. written, action
For those observing the fast and those who are not, [ which means everyone ] we have prepared a feste dei sette pesci, a feast of seven fishes, if you would be gracious enough to join our family in celebrating this Christmas Eve.
Ortus Tower, 1708.
[ But the feast itself doesn't have seven fishes, more like fourteen or is it twenty-eight?
Lucrezia has put out a long table with some fourteen seats in her sitting room, with her bedroom visible through an alcove. It is piled with seafood dishes, scallops, calamari, clams, cod, branzino, oysters, shrimps, and bread sneaked in between. Wine flasks are as plentiful as the food, as well as prized sweets, candied fruits and torrone!
There are also sardines and plain water for those actually observing the fast. ]
