Carla Rossi

Carla Rossi - affectionately known as Nonna - was an elderly shopkeeper from Milan who lived in Florence with her granddaughter Lucia. Being Milanese, she was labelled as a spy by Alberto and his mob, and was forced to flee the city with help from Leonardo da Vinci.

Biography
Carla Rossi was born in Milan but moved to Florence some years later and spent forty years there, with her shop that she had built from nothing. Her granddaughter Lucia Rossi also worked there with her. When Alberto and his thugs targeted her and her shop, due to the coming war with Milan, Carla admitted her heritage and that she was proud of it. Alberto and his thugs tried to attack her and Lucia, but they were rescued by Leonardo da Vinci, Tomaso and Machiavelli.

Whilst hiding at Mac's flat, Lorenzo de' Medici arrived and accused Carla and Lucia of being spies to which Carla called him "silly boy". After agreeing to leave the city, Carla went with Tomaso to the city gates where she managed to pass just in time before they were shut. Later, in no man's land, she was reunited with Lucia, who had flown over the city walls with Leo and his Wings. (The Fugitive)

Personality
Carla was stubborn, hard as nails and took no nonsense from anyone. She was not afraid to speak up for her people and humiliated Alberto with her sharp tongue. She was also extremely caring towards her granddaughter, Lucia, and would have done whatever she could to protect her.
