| Summary |
"La fine dell'amore" by Roberto Bracco is a satirical play written in the late 19th century. The work presents a complex examination of love and relationships through a cast of characters that include the Marchesa Anna Di Fontanarosa and various suitors who surround her. The play delves into themes of desire, societal expectations, and the nature of love. At the start of the play, the audience is introduced to the lively social setting of Marchesa Anna's salon, situated in a countryside villa. Characters such as Doctor Salvetti, Count Dionigi, and Giuliano D’Alma engage in witty banter, revealing their preoccupations with love and art. The scene unfolds with Anna’s playful and bi-polar demeanor towards her guests, surreptitiously engaging them in flirtation while navigating her own complicated feelings regarding marriage and independence. The opening sets a tone of humor mixed with underlying tension, hinting at deeper emotional conflicts as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
