| Summary |
"Amore ha cent'occhi" by Salvatore Farina is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces us to a range of colorful characters involved in tangled relationships and transactions, particularly focusing on the enigmatic figure of Count Cosimo and the sensitive servant Ambrogio. Through humor and poignant moments, the narrative reveals interactions that hint at deeper emotional currents surrounding love, loss, and societal expectations. The opening of the novel sets a lively stage, featuring Ambrogio, who is anxious as he navigates the eccentric behavior of Mr. Cilecca while attending to Count Cosimo, who is visibly distressed. Amid trivial conversations about antiques and porcelain, tension mounts as the themes of impending loss and the commercialization of human relationships surface. The scene shifts as a delicate young woman, Countess Beatrice, enters, igniting a whirlwind of emotions and unresolved dynamics between the characters. These initial moments sketch a comedic yet emotionally layered tableau that hints at the complexities of love and the human condition, setting the tone for the intricacies that unfold throughout the novel.
