| Summary |
"Carta bollata" by Salvatore Farina is a novella written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Giusto, an artist grappling with the challenges of his profession, his personal insecurities, and his romantic aspirations. As he navigates his artistic life amid societal pressures and financial struggles, the complexities of love and ambition come to the forefront." "At the start of the novella, we are introduced to Giusto, an artist renowned among his peers yet dissatisfied with both his life and his art. Frustrated by the constraints of academia, he abandons formal education to learn solely from nature. The narrative reveals his internal conflict as he grapples with artistic ambitions, financial woes, and unrequited love. The inciting incident involves Giusto’s struggle against a tax collector, which leads him to consider seeking financial support from estranged relatives. Through humorous yet poignant exchanges, we see his attempts at securing a loan unfold, hinting at the deeper social commentaries on art, poverty, and familial relationships in Italy during this period."
