Summary "A «San Francisco» : Un atto" by Salvatore Di Giacomo is a one-act play likely written in the early 20th century. The drama unfolds in a prison setting, specifically within the walls of a Naples jail around the 1850s. The play explores themes of honor, betrayal, and the harsh realities of prison life, presenting a vivid reflection of the societal and emotional struggles faced by the characters. The storyline revolves around various prisoners, including Giovanni Arcietto and Peppe Pazzia, who engage in conversations filled with tales of their pasts and their relationships with women. The tension escalates through the revelation of a crime of passion involving Don Giovanni, who confesses to killing a woman named Ndriana out of jealousy. As the narrative progresses, the mix of camaraderie and rivalry among the inmates culminates in a tragic confrontation, leading to Peppe's brutal demise at the hands of Don Giovanni. The play concludes on a somber note, with the haunting song from the distant prison echoing the themes of loss and despair. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
