Summary "I ragazzi d'una volta e i ragazzi d'adesso" by marchesa Colombi is a collection of nostalgic anecdotes written in the late 19th century. The work reflects on the contrasts between childhood in the author's time and that of contemporary children, focusing on themes of education, health, and societal changes over the years. The narrative is enriched by the memories of the author's grandfather, providing a vivid depiction of youth experiences that highlight the differences in upbringing and resources available to children. The opening portion of the book introduces a reflective and insightful tone, where the author muses about the privileges enjoyed by modern children compared to the harsher realities of past generations. Through anecdotes, the marchesa contrasts the healthcare and educational disparities, illustrating how contemporary practices provide better care and comfort for children. The opening stories include reminiscences of the grandfather's childhood struggles, showcasing the simplicity of past lives, the lack of luxuries, and the robust spirit of the children who navigated their days largely unsupervised, in stark contrast to the more sheltered and well-cared-for experiences of today's youth.
