Vincent's dream, the Vanetti playhouse, is now complete. Don Galassia and his nephew Strega, have been invited. In public, they are friendly with Nero, but they are the large family that controls Chicago. The playhouse's opening the next day is wreathed in tension. And at last, the day Avilio's been waiting for has arrived...
He's like an empty shell.
أصبحت حياته فارغة
Von ihm ist nur noch
eine leere Hülle übrig.
Se convirtió en un cascarón vacío.
Se ha convertido en un cascarón vacío.
Il est comme une coquille vide, 
désormais.
Quel tipo, ormai, sembra l'ombra di se stesso.
Ele já não passa de um casco vazio.
Его жизнь совершенно пуста.
