The American couple, Sam and Mary, were raised in Illinois and attended Ivy League schools. At nineteen, Sam wrote a business proposal to a tool manufacturer and started an import business in Italy.
As a wedding gift, their parents gave them a villa and a vineyard. With this newfound wealth, the couple purchased a sailing yacht and cruised the Mediterranean. This opened new horizons and significantly changed their lives.
