Summary "Storie da ridere.... e da piangere" by Ercole Luigi Morselli is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. Through a mix of humor and poignant moments, the book explores the lives of various characters facing extraordinary circumstances, touching on themes of hardship, resilience, and the human condition. The opening of the work introduces us to the colorful setting of the "Osteria degli Scampoli" in Buenos Aires, owned by a man named Otello, who has lost his arms in an accident but has found happiness and a new life by opening an inn. The story describes the lively atmosphere of the tavern, where Otello is supported by his wife, Bullet, who cares for him and the clientele—many of whom are similarly disabled. The narrative highlights their joy and camaraderie, even as it hints at the deeper struggles beneath their laughter. As the scene unfolds, we see the arrival of Peppino, a limbless athlete, who also captivates the patrons with his tales and lively character, setting the tone for the blend of humor and pathos that characterizes this collection.
