| Summary | "L'ignoto: Novelle" by Salvatore Di Giacomo is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century. This work captures the essence of life in Italy, with a focus on characters woven into rich descriptions of their settings, likely encompassing themes of existential reflection and social commentary. The narratives blend a poignant examination of human emotions and experiences against the backdrop of the changing world around them. The opening of the book introduces readers to a vivid and atmospheric setting, particularly focusing on a quiet moment at sunset on the Piazzale di Porta Roma. Two men, immersed in contemplation, observe the picturesque landscape as a train rushes by, symbolizing the relentless passage of time. A mysterious young woman named Letizia appears, initially drawing the attention of a schoolboy, Paolino, who knows her. Their interaction hints at deeper intrigue, especially as Letizia insists he must not reveal that he has seen her, implying that she harbors secrets. The narrative unfolds to explore themes of isolation and yearning as Letizia grapples with her internal conflicts, set against the haunting beauty of the natural world and the urban landscape.
