Location from Street Fighter Alpha by Capcom
A sun-bleached Mediterranean alley in a small Italian coastal town — the kind of place where nothing important should happen, which is precisely why Rose has chosen it as her home and operational base.
Rose chose this location because its ordinariness is protective — Shadaloo infrastructure does not come to Italian coastal towns looking for tarot readers. She can see the threads of fate most clearly in quiet places, away from the noise of cities where too many competing futures create static. The alley has served as both refuge and starting point for multiple Alpha storylines: seekers come to Rose for readings, she dispatches them toward truths they weren't ready for, and her own preparations for the confrontation with Bison are conducted here in the margins of everyone else's journeys.
Terracotta walls, laundry lines crossing overhead, cobblestones worn smooth by centuries of foot traffic. The alley opens at one end onto a view of the Adriatic — blue water, white light, boats bobbing. Rose's parlor is three rooms above a bakery. Cards laid out on a table. A window always open to the sea air.
