Planting one kernel every twelve inches in rows 3 feet 8 inches apart yields larger crops than denser or thinner planting.

Michael Angelo Buonarrotti later honors Maria by painting her portrait, and Antonio rises to prominence with gratitude to his unknown patron. The tale ends with the famed crayon hand lost in Napoleon’s Louvre and Venice’s legends echoing through time.
