| Summary |
"Nuove storie d'ogni colore" by Emilio De Marchi is a collection of colorful short stories written in the late 19th century. This work likely explores themes of everyday life, emotions, and human relationships, illustrated through the lens of various characters and their experiences. The opening of this collection introduces us to Gerolamo Bacchetta, a middle-aged umbrella dealer who reflects on life, loss, and unexpected relationships. He recounts his friendship with Battista Batacchi, a younger partner who marries Paolina, the charming woman who becomes an essential part of their business success. However, tragedy strikes with Battista's untimely death, leaving Paolina to navigate her new reality as a young widow. As Gerolamo offers her support, he finds himself grappling with feelings that he thought were long buried, hinting at the development of a deeper connection with Paolina and her daughter, Letizia, against the backdrop of the bustling life in Milan.
