What is Tembi's Bicycle?

Tembi's bicycle was gifted to her by Saro in Florence just before they started dating. She had wanted a bicycle to be able to get around Florence more easily and he had remembered this desire and fulfilled it. The bicycle is therefore symbolic of their blossoming romance, as well as of Saro's devotion and dedication to the woman who will become his wife. The gift of the bicycle illuminates Saro's character as generous, thoughtful, giving, intuitive, and kind.
