Salvatore orders a double whisky in a local bar. He is then being recognised by a fan who approaches him for an autograph.

​
​
As he is looking out of the window, Salvatore spots a young lady who is young Elena's spitting image. Salvatore is flabbergasted to the point of letting his whisky glass drop to the floor. The glass bursts as it hits the bar floor.

​
​
Salvatore approaches the young lady and addresses her. As soon as they are face to face, he admits his error. The young lady smiles at him before she takes her Vespa scooter for a ride. Salvatore's gaze follows her as she leaves.
