Born to an American mother and an Italian father in the beginning of what would be an incredibly hot Italian summer, Allegra spent first five years of her life in Rome living in a small, yet happy family of four. If you asked her what she remembered from those first five years of her life, she’d probably say the Tiber river and all the green surrounding it. However, after nine years of marriage, the happy family life was abruptly broken when her parents decided to get a divorce, causing Allegra to move to the States with her mother and older brother. And New York was nothing like Rome, not even close.. but it became a home.
Her childhood was a rather normal one, as much as it can be when one parent lives on one continent, while the second lives on another, but between those long airplane rides between Rome & New York, Allegra had managed to find herself a great set of friends and hobbies that made her life sweeter. Yet it was one hobby that stood out and soon become a big love of hers - ballet. Allegra was dancing ballet till she was seventeen years old, even dreaming of turning pro one day.. the girl was spending all of her time in the ballet class - dancing till her toes would be literally bleeding, but she didn’t care about the pain or the tears - it was all she wanted to do.. and she was talented, she really was. But all good things must come to an end, don’t they? A sudden knee injury prevented her from becoming a professional ballet dancer.. one could say she had never really recovered from that dream of hers shattering into a million pieces.
Considering there was no future for her in the world of ballet, Allegra enrolled into the Columbia University majoring in History of Art & Architecture.. buildings were not so fragile as dancing was.. or so she told to herself. But she was in love with art, always had been - and as she was often traveling with her family, she had realized her interest always laid in museums and the architecture of the cities she would visit. Those were nothing but breathing art.. there was magic in it - dreams that would come alive.. and in a way, she felt connected to the ballet again.
But there was wildness that was running through that girl’s blood.. she was still attracting people to herself - her presence magnetic as ever, one could find Allegra at every damn party, from the ones she would come to with her friends, all the way to those she’d come to alone, which she didn’t mind at all. All she wanted was to have fun.. and she could have that on her own. If she wanted people by her side, she could simply meet them in the club or a bar.. or at the party she crashed. There was something about having fun.. that kept the demons she was fighting at bay.
And drinking wasn’t an enemy of hers, but a friend, just as doing drugs wasn’t unknown to her.. not at all. But she had it under control, didn’t she? It was during the weekends only, and to be fair, it wasn’t even every weekend - not anymore. And perhaps she couldn’t even remember when was the last time she even took something. But how many times had she woken up not remembering anything at all? Was it only on the weekends even? How could one be certain where there was some party every night? In one moment she was in the kitchen of some apartment, and in the other she’d walking on the edge of thirty floor building.. but it was fun, wasn’t it? And as you already know, all she wanted was to have fun.. no matter of the price.
However, her life was good. Or at least it seemed so to her.. thanks to her academic success, the girl first got an internship at the MET, yet it was the MOMA who hired Allegra permanently immediately after graduating.. the youngest curatorial assistant. What a great job, what a perfect career move.. how lucky was she, wasn’t she? Yet, it was her parents truly she owed her career to.. her mother was a successful Manhattan’s OB/GYN, while her father.. well, it was a bit more complicated. Let’s just say Massimo Nardi had money, lots of it.. some would call him an entrepreneur, a successful CEO, while some would call him.. the boss. And it could mean a lot of things, but in her family it meant one thing only.. Cosa Nostra. Yes, you have read that right.. Allegra Sofia Nardi was the daughter of a mafia boss - of the man who had half of Southern Europe under his control.. drugs, guns, cars.. you name it, her father controlled it. And in New York, well.. he was the boss of the Command.
Many think her parents divorced due to the two of them falling out of love, yet the truth was entirely different.. it was her father who sent his wife back to her country with their two children - not because he was out of love, but because he wanted to protect them.. being such a powerful man he knew it was just a matter of time before his enemies, and he had many of them, would come after him.. after his beloved family. There was no way he’d let them steal what he loved the most, no matter what, and he sent them as far as he could.. to save them from the life he was born into & the life his children carried within their genetic code.
It was a brave attempt, a well thought move.. to save the Nardi children from the danger. But could one predict everything? Could the Nardi boss predict his children’s every move? Could he predict his daughter’s recklessness, love for danger.. to protect his children, the boss sent them to the States, yet perhaps it would have been better if the drug lord’d had his eyes on them all the time, keeping them close to himself.. perhaps then his only daughter - the beautiful, intelligent & successful Allegra Sofia Nardi.. the girl who had it all.. wouldn’t be so close to becoming one of the victims of her father’s dark empire.
