Character from Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco
A Palermo market vendor whose warm smile and golden arancini made him Vittoria's favorite distraction — and an unwitting pawn in a game between goddesses and demons.
Domenico is the human world at its warmest and most uncomplicated — a man who sells arancini, knows everyone in the market by name, and courts Vittoria with the straightforward persistence of someone who doesn't know she's a goddess. He is kind without being naive, charming without being calculating, and entirely unequipped for the supernatural forces swirling around the woman he's trying to win over. His presence in the story serves as a reminder of what the mortal world offers and what it costs to leave it behind. He represents the life the twins might have had if they were simply who they appeared to be.
A young Sicilian man with the sun-weathered hands and easy physicality of someone who works outdoors. Dark eyes, an open face, and the kind of smile that belongs behind a market stall calling out to passersby. He smells like fried rice, saffron, and the open-air market.
Also known as: Domenico Nucci Jr.
