POLLO DA MANTOVA

Pollo da Mantova is Andrea’s uncle, an imposing and respected man, a mason by trade. His life is shaped by manual work, practicality, and the determination to build not only walls, but a solid future for himself and his family. He lives modestly, yet with dignity, in a house he has raised himself with great effort, brick by brick.

Andrea’s arrival prompts him to pass on what he has learned, with the wisdom and authority of someone who has forged his life through practice and perseverance.
