Written in 1954, located in 1940 Vicenza and still alive and kicking. The sharp precision of a scalpel. Among many descriptions that of the "art" of gossiping. It's a kaleidoscope of murmuring, omissis at the right place and moment, subtle tremblings of the chin, painful turnings of the eye, perfect in leaving the sinner naked to the scorn of people and readers of all times. Sinners so perfectly described you can't somehow avoid to love.
