Benvenuto! Come stai? The year is 1925, and the place is Venice, Italy - the "City of Light". With the 20th century's changes taking root throughout the world, Venice has been revolutionizing. From fashion to technology, from women's rights to social stigmas, the Roaring Twenties has brought massive changes. With the spread of these new ideas reaching Europe, Italy has begun to roll with the changes. Tourists flock from distant lands to view the city's great beauty, its illustrious architecture, its magnificent restaurants, and its famous night life.
Most notably: a famous night club, a cabaret called Sogni D'oro, has been attracting the attention of the rich and famous from around the globe. Its beautiful dancers, red light entertainment, and warm atmosphere draws many people through its doors. But there are whispers of the club - barely concealed - that say that the cabaret's success is due to a dangerous connection with the city's most prestigious mafia family.
Are these frightening rumors whispered in the dark just that - rumors? Or are Sogni D'oro and its employees in league with the infamous Italian mafia? Few know the truth, so where does that leave the rest of us? ``Dancing on the Sidewalk.
