Knight of Malta - CaravaggioJacinto is Argentinean; he has two kids that live in Cordoba. Jacinto’s father was of Italian origin and he always had the dream to live in Italy, where he came for the first time in 1989 and met Ciccio.
Jacinto was an able young lad. He was reared on Zorro and sword fighting in the old Argentinean tradition. At the age of 9 he had mastered everything about European sword fighting from the heavy wielded swords of Arthurian Romance to the lighter 'just for show' swords used in the 19th century.
Bored, he turned his attention to literature. He first started out by reading classics like Dumas' 'The three musketeers'. He read the full unabridged version 'in French' in less than an hour and a half. His grandmother was duly impressed. (He grew up with his grandmother as his father and mother died tragically in a car accident when Jacinto was only 4).
But in later adolescence he began to look inward and discovered Marcel Proust's 'In Search of Lost Time'. It changed his life and although he has always maintained the look of a complete and total womanizer, he is actually just a real sweetie at heart.
He currently is writing a 'History of Lace in 17th century Madrid', while dividing his time with Ciccio on the Island of Malta, where he occasionally goes out, with Ciccio, on Sunday afternoons dressed in full 'knight of Malta regalia' with their pet poodle…
