Giles: "This world is older than any of you know. Contrary to popular mythology, it did not begin as a paradise. For untold eons demons walked the Earth. They made it their home, their... their Hell. But in time they lost their purchase on this reality. The way was made for mortal animals, for, for man. All that remains of the old ones are vestiges, certain magics, certain creatures...

In Venice, Italy, Angela Martignetti is the Slayer. Peter Toscano is her first Watcher - and her lover. He is killed and she gets a new Watcher, Jason Cromwell. Due to her relationship with Toscano, Cromwell is initially hostile to her, but eventually cools. Angela lives "many years" after this. "Many" in this case meaning 3 at most, as Lucy Hanover is active by 1866.
(The first year for Angela mentioned is the book is 1872, but 1862 is specified twice later and it works better with Giles' ref to Toscano being "mid-nineteenth century". On the other hand, 1872 would make more sense with the mention of Angela living 'many years' after the events portrayed in the book since we don't know anything about another Slayer until 1893. Pick whichever you prefer, I suppose.)

I think it's safe to assume the gym gets burnt down during a later battle, though as someone who's email I deleted pointed out, in "School Hard" when Sheila comments about burning down the gym, Buffy replies with something along the lines of "Not exactly...one time," so maybe the hairspray/cross trick did burn down the gym. Or maybe Buffy was referring to the old science lab that got burnt down in "Some Assembly Required." The episode "Becoming Pt. 1" showed the series Buffy learn about her destiny from a nameless guy with nowhere near the style of the movie's Merrick, but I've kept the name and The Watcher's Guide calls him that, too.)
