Summary "Ricordi d'infanzia e di scuola" by Edmondo De Amicis is a semi-autobiographical memoir written in the late 19th century. This work reflects on the author's early childhood experiences, particularly his time spent in school and the significant characters that influenced him, such as family members and caretakers. The narrative is filled with emotional and vivid memories that explore themes of innocence, nature, social inequality, and the formative power of education. The opening of the memoir introduces the reader to the author's early childhood and the specific recollections that define it. He starts with a poignant memory of playing with his deceased brother, reflecting on the mysteries of memory and loss. As he describes his family background, we learn about his father, a banker in a picturesque town, and the idyllic nature surrounding his childhood home. The author paints a vivid picture of his environment and shares various anecdotes, such as his playful interactions with neighborhood children and the fondness he felt for the family servant, Maddalena. He captures the blend of joy and melancholy that marked his early years, laying the groundwork for a deeper reflection on the impact of experiences and relationships in shaping identity and understanding of the world.
