Giovanni is a Spirit Character in Spiritfarer.
Life[]
Giovanni fought in World War II in the Resistance, then carved for himself an ordinary life of trade and simple pleasures. Extremely careful with his appearance and his witty one liners, Giovanni always made sure to do everything in his power to charm everyone around him, even if it sometimes involved doing shady things just to win someone’s heart. Up until his death by heart attack, Giovanni stood by his “Carpe Diem” motto. He understood the pain he had caused Astrid, without being truly sorry about it.[1]

After Giovanni leaves through the Everdoor, the Meteor Shower Event can be started by interacting with the second story door of Astrid's Bungalow.
