Before the Storm

In Portofino, the storm was coming up behind the headland: the pines already dark, but the villa holding on to the last of the light the way you hold a guest at the door — facade still gold, tower still lit. The rain hadn't quite made up its mind.

A Portofino, il temporale saliva da dietro il promontorio: i pini erano già scuri, ma la villa tratteneva l'ultima luce come si trattiene un ospite sulla porta — facciata ancora d'oro, torre accesa. La pioggia stava ancora decidendo se cadere.
