For years, guests of the Tuscany Hotel could leave
their pasts behind and live among fellow artists. Now guests
of a different sort fill the rooms, searching for their
memories—no matter the cost. Run by renowned sculptor Robert Gandy and his wife and muse,
Magdalena, the Tuscany Hotel hosted guests of a certain
kind—artists, actors, scientists, and engineers who left
their worries behind so that they could create their latest
masterpieces. Surrounded by lore, the hotel was rumored to
free the mind and inspire artists’ gifts. But tragic
circumstances force Robert and his family to move. After thirteen months at war, Vittorio Gandy is haunted by
memories, and his former life is unrecognizable. Once a
gifted painter, now he can’t bear the vivid, bleeding colors
on a canvas. His young son doesn’t remember him, and his
wife, Valerie, is scared of him. But the most disconcerting
change is in Vitto’s father, Robert Gandy, who has fallen
from being a larger-than-life sculptor to a man whose mind
has been taken by Alzheimer’s. When Robert steals away in the night, Valerie, Vitto, and
his new acquaintance and fellow veteran John go to the only
place Robert might remember—the now-abandoned Tuscany Hotel.
When they find him there, Robert’s mind is sound and his
memories are intact. Before long, word gets out that drinking from the fountain
at the hotel can restore the memories of those suffering
from Alzheimer’s and dementia. The rooms once again fill up
with guests—not artists this time, but people seeking
control over their memories and lives. Vitto desperately
wants to clear his own mind, but as he learns more about his
mother’s life and her tragic death, he begins to wonder
whether drinking the water comes at a price. A story of father and son, memories lost and found, artists
and their muses, Midnight at the Tuscany Hotel
explores the mysteries of the mind, the truth behind lore,
and the miracle of inspiration.
