| Summary | "Alla finestra: Novelle" by Enrico Castelnuovo is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book likely captures the vibrant social life and character interactions typical of Venetian culture, touching on themes such as love, community, and the common struggles of its inhabitants. The opening story introduces us to Gegia, a young girl who, through a series of events, finds herself longing for connection as she navigates life from her darkened window. The beginning of "Alla finestra: Novelle" sets the stage for a poignant exploration of the life of Gegia, a girl afflicted by illness and confined to her home. The narrative paints a vivid picture of her world, as she observes the bustling life outside her window while grappling with feelings of isolation and longing. As Gegia interacts with her father, her aunt, and her neighbors, we see glimpses of her past happiness and the stark contrast of her current situation. The introduction of Lotte, a young German girl who rents the adjacent apartment, hints at the blossoming friendship that may offer Gegia new hope amidst her struggles, despite her physical limitations.
