In the early morning of their first day in Florence, Margaret reads from her guidebook to Clara as the piazza around them is waking up and coming to life.
[MARGARET, spoken]
What happened here? Well, let's see...
(sung)
On a central square
In the city of the sun Rosa Palace
It was high and handsome
Gleaming like the crown of a king
[CLARA, spoken]
Where would that be? Where is that?
[MARGARET]
In the tower
A warning bell would ring
[CLARA]
What kind of warning?
[MARGARET]
For a fire
Or river overflowing
[CLARA]
Oh
[MARGARET]
Firenze
On a central square
The beginning of a kingdom republic
[CLARA]
Was there a king? Was there a queen?
[MARGARET]
There were princes painters
Nobleman of logic and art
[CLARA]
Firenze!
[MARGARET]
Leonardo...
[CLARA]
Leonardo...
[MARGARET]
Michaelangelo, the start
[CLARA, spoken]
That's a completely naked statue!
[MARGARET]
T'was a dawning day
Unfurling...
[CLARA]
From the heart...
The painting of the world we know
[BOTH]
The world we know
On a central square
[MARGARET]
In the city made of statues and stories
[CLARA]
Go on and tell me what they mean
[MARGARET]
It ignited there like a beacon coming out of the dark
You can feel it...
[CLARA]
You can feel it...
[MARGARET]
You can follow...
[CLARA]
You can follow...
[MARGARET]
The Spark
[CLARA]
We're on vacation
[MARGARET]
From an age to an age
[CLARA]
From an Age to an age
[MARGARET]
In Firenze...
[CLARA]
In Firenze...
[MARGARET]
In Firenze...
[CLARA]
In Firenze...
[MARGARET]
The spark, the world
[CLARA]
The painting of the world
[BOTH]
It started there and then and here we are
It a new old world to me
It's a new old world and we are here!
