To honor the dearly departed Guiseppe (Pepi) Roni the following
people will be gathering at La Sperenza Restaurant at 5:00pm tonight:
Rocco Scarfazzi (aka Tony): Pepi's twin brother, a tough- talking
no-nonsense Italian business man. In addition to his vineyards and
real estate holdings, it is rumored Rocco in the 'laundering'
business. He had no love for his brother Pepi but his reasons are
his own...capische.
Tara Misu (aka Yaimi): Tara is Rocco's vivacious young fiancée.
She was just an upstairs maid in Rocco's villa until she swept him
off his feet. Now Yami, I mean Tara, keeps a smile on his face and a
firm grip on Rocco's assets.
Marco Roni (aka Garrison): Pepi and Mama Rosa's only son, Marco was
excepted to take over the restaurant after his parents retired.
Marco hates waiting tables. His goal is to play on a World Cup
soccer team but his papa has been keeping him permanently on the
bench.
Bo Jalais (aka Matt): Cousin of a cousin of Rocco's, Bo manages the
Scarfazzi vineyards. Bo comes from a long line of French wine
markers and no one knows `ze' grape like Bo. An important man in
the Scarfazzi organization… what could Bo possibly have to wine
about?
The following people send their most sincere sympathies for the loss
of Pepi Roni, but are unable to attend:
Vince McGovern and his lovely wife
Shannon and Kathy (I am assuming. I have sent an invitation in the
mail and called 5 times and I still haven't heard from them)
That new guy Dan who only showed up once
Bill (he works Saturday nights)'
Missy's friend Leslie who takes fencing lessons in Cherry Hill
Due to cancellations the following have no aliases:
Mama Rosa: Pepi's grieving widow. For 25 years, Mama Rosa cooked the
pasta while Pepi greeted La Sperenza' dinner guests. In all the
years they were married, not once did they argue. Had something
finally boiled over in kRosa's kitchen?
Costume suggestions: Mama Rosa is wearing widow's black. Pots and
ladinlin spoons optional.
Angel: Angel is Pepi and Rosa's beautiful daughter. It was Pepi's
dream, that his `Angel' wold marry a good Italian boy, have children
and carry on the family traditions. Angel has a few fantasies of
her own though and on oth them is that hunk, Bo Jalais. Mama-mia!
Costume suggestions: Angel is in mourning so her short leather skirt
is black, complemented with a tight black sweater. She loves gold
jewelry.
Father Alfredo: and Italian priest and long-time family friend of
the Roni's and the Scarfazzi's. The good priest has heard their
confessions and knows their sins.
Costume Suggestion: Priest's cassock and hat. An overnight bag with
at least one bottle of wine (for religious purposes only).
Clair Voyant: Rosa's best friend and astrology advisor. Clair's
talents include and ability to communicate with the spirit would and
see into the future.
Costume Suggestion: Clair wears a gypsy-style gown with excessive
makeup. She talks with a husky voice.
