QR code
"Donne e fanciulle" by Luciano Zùccoli is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories in this volume prominently feature women and young girls from various social classes, including the aristocracy, wealthy bourgeoisie, and common folk. Through these narratives, the author engages with themes of female agency, societal expectations, and the complexities of relationships between men and women. At the start of this work, the preface introduces
the overarching premise that women often face undue blame for their actions, with Zùccoli arguing that male influence plays a significant role in their choices. The opening story, "La marmotta," follows Tullio Sciara, who is tasked with accompanying his friend's young niece, Estella, as she navigates the chilly streets of Como. They share a playful banter, revealing Estella's spirited character, while Tullio grapples with the societal implications of their age difference and the nature of their relationship. The narrative sets the tone for a deeper exploration of women's lives, their struggles for autonomy, and the expectations placed upon them by society and men.
