East of Venice.
Treviso City.
"The court finds in favor of Mr. Matteo Alberti."
The stern-faced judge knocked on the gavel, "Silence!" Then he pointed at the elderly man in his sixties sitting in the defendant's seat, "Mr. Adrian Casanova, you must transfer the house in the south of the city to Mr. Alberti within a week, or the court will sentence you to imprisonment or flogging."
"They are deceivers!" A boy of about eight or nine suddenly stood up behind Casanova and shouted, "I can testify for Grandpa..."
Two court officers, similar to bailiffs, immediately restrained the child, then looked up at the judge, "Do you want us to lock this boy up?"
The elderly Casanova anxiously defended to the judge: "You see, he's just a child, please forgive him. I'll immediately vacate the house after I return..."
