Summary: "'O VOTO: Scene popolari napoletane in tre atti" by Salvatore Di Giacomo is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. This work unfolds in Naples and captures the everyday lives and emotions of its characters within the context of local culture and beliefs. The main character appears to be Vito Amante, a tintore (dyer), who faces a significant life event that sets the community abuzz. The opening of the play establishes a bustling Neapolitan piazzetta outside Vito's dye shop, filled with curious onlookers eagerly discussing recent events. As Vito is carried out, weak and disoriented, suspicions arise regarding his health. The neighborhood is steeped in intrigue as Vito, in a moment of distress, inadvertently makes a significant "voto" (vow) to marry a woman who is deemed "malamente" (undesirable), igniting surprise and concern among the gathered crowd. The interactions between Vito, his mother, and the other townsfolk introduce themes of familial duty, societal expectations, and the complexities of personal vows, setting the scene for escalating tensions and emotional turmoil.
