Chapter 14 - THE GALA WITHOUT A FIRST DAUGHTER
The next winter gala opened with six children.
No hereditary title.
No branch preference.
No Ferraro child required.
In fact, none of the first six were Ferraros.
Some older relatives considered that sacrilege.
The ballroom remained standing.
Donations increased.
People mostly cared whether the food was warm.
That fact would have offended my grandfather profoundly.
Good.
The foundation also separated family heritage activities from youth arts programming.
If Ferraros wanted to teach children about Isabella, they could do it through archives and family gatherings.
The dance academy would teach dance.

Simple boundaries.
Long overdue.
