CORTE DI CATERINA
ROSA ANTICA DAMASK ROSE Caterina wanders restless among the rooms of the Palace searching for refreshment, in a hot Parisian summer day. The royal clothing is unpleasantly suffocating. She removes the long, adorned belt, unties her hair and takes off her heavy dress. Around her the walls turn into a wet cave and, in the air, she can smell a sweet scent of flowers. She sees a spring of clear water surrounded by a luxuriant rose garden. She plunges in that clear, fresh and perfumed water. A sensation of deep wellness envelops her. That sublime fragrance restores her. When she wakes up, everything sweetly disappears.
