| Summary | "Racconti storici e morali" by Cesare Cantù is a collection of historical and moral tales written in the late 19th century. The work offers a reflection on various moral and ethical themes through historical contexts, likely intertwining fictional narratives with real historical events and figures, providing insight into societal values and dilemmas of that era. The opening of the collection introduces us to the protagonist, Giammaria, a 39-year-old candidate for theology living in Berlin during the year 1806. On his birthday, he reflects on the weight of aging and his unfulfilled aspirations. As he grapples with feelings of disappointment due to his lack of employment and the absence of his promised love, Giulietta, he receives a life-altering letter from a patron offering him a position as a chaplain. This news fills him with joy, prompting him to seek Giulietta to share this pivotal moment, setting the stage for a narrative that explores themes of hope, duty, and the impact of war on personal lives.
