1. 1. Vita Di Un Perdigiorno

   

   A lighthearted, picaresque novella follows a carefree young miller’s son who, branded a good-for-nothing, leaves home to wander and live by chance and charm. Traveling through idyllic landscapes and small towns he encounters music, romance, and a gallery of eccentric characters from peasants to nobility; his poetic imagination and buoyant optimism turn misadventures into adventures. Through chance meetings, songs, and a steadfast longing for love, his aimless roaming gradually leads to reconciliation, social uplift, and a fairy-tale–like domestic resolution, blending Romantic yearning with irony and pastoral delight.
