The work details the life of Duprè, a prominent Italian sculptor, as he narrates his artistic journey alongside personal experiences that shaped his craft and character. Given the author's emphasis on his artistic development and personal philosophy, the memoir serves as both a personal testament to his life and an exploration of the values and principles that guided his work. The opening of the memoir establishes Giovanni Duprè’s motivations for writing and provides insights into his early life and aspirations. He reflects on his childhood, marked by family struggles and his deep desire to pursue art despite his father's opposition. As Duprè recounts formative experiences, such as his attempts at drawing and woodwork, he vividly describes the pivotal moments that ignited his passion for sculpture.
