Summary "La carità del prossimo" by Vittorio Bersezio is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Antonio Vanardi, a struggling painter living in poverty in a cramped attic with his wife and four children. Facing mounting debts and the relentless demands of life, Vanardi’s circumstances worsen with the arrival of a relentless landlord, Fiorenzo Marone, who embodies the cruelty of those who misuse power and wealth. The narrative highlights themes of social inequality, familial struggles, and the often-misguided notion of charity in society. The opening of the novel introduces us to the bleak living situation of Antonio Vanardi, an impoverished artist beset by financial woes and the burden of a growing family. His studio, located atop a dilapidated building, serves as both his workspace and home, revealing the chaos of his domestic life filled with the sounds of crying children and a nagging wife, Rosina. As the chapter progresses, we meet Marone, the landlord, who arrives to collect overdue rent and expresses a complete lack of empathy towards his tenants. Vanardi, despite his talent, finds himself in a mounting struggle against both external debt and internal familial pressures. This initial setup sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the characters’ challenges, underscoring the theme of charity—or the lack thereof—in their harsh reality.
