Chapter 125 (2) - The Mysterious Art Museum


A fashion brand CEO striving to revive her hometown. Even the brief description would attract people's interest. In Italy, which is becoming increasingly urbanized, such heartwarming news is hard to come by.

Isabella, gesturing at the square's mural, asks,

“Did Monica paint that mural too? Considering she graduated from the Florence Academy of Art, it's understandable she has the skill.”

Mr. Augusto waves his hand at the mural.

“That? No, Monica didn’t paint that.”

“So, was it painted by another artist at Monica’s request?”

Mr. Augusto tilts his head, pondering for a moment.

“Well, it's a bit complicated.”

“We have plenty of time. Please take your time to explain.”

“Well, it was indeed painted by an artist Monica brought here.”

“Yes.”

“But Monica didn’t ask him to do it. The artist just painted it.”

“For free? Such paintings?”

Isabella and Romano simultaneously turn their gazes to the mural. A large mural in the style of the Impressionists. It was not the work of an amateur who wanders around painting murals for free.

Mr. Augusto says with a laugh,

“He was given bread and fruit as a gift, but yes, he painted it for free. And it's not just that one.”

Isabella turns her head sharply towards him.

Shortly after, they reappear in the square.

Romano, his face full of admiration, checks the photos on his camera's LCD screen and says,

"In my career as a journalist, I’ve been to many mural villages, but this is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. It could be developed into a tourist spot. There isn’t a single place here that isn’t beautiful."

"We don't have any lodging facilities."

"If it becomes a stopover on the way to the south..."

"That’s a good idea. We’ll include that in the article."

"Hehe."

As they head back towards the restaurant, Isabella murmurs,

"But who could it be? A painter capable of such work. Do you have anyone in mind?"

"Not at all. Nowadays, artists aren't interested in beautiful paintings."

"Hmm."

Uncle Augusto, smiling as if asking if they had seen everything, waves at them. The two rush over and ask,



"Master, do you know the name of the artist who painted the murals?"

Uncle Augusto raises his thumb and says,

"Ban, the artist Ban from Korea."
