Summary "Mattinate napoletane" by Salvatore Di Giacomo is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The work paints a vivid picture of life in Naples through a series of character-driven narratives filled with emotional depth and local color. The stories reflect on themes such as longing, love, and loss, often narrated from the perspective of artists or people from the lower social classes, capturing the unique essence of Neapolitan culture. At the start of "Mattinate napoletane," the narrator reflects on their solitary life in Naples, filled with melancholic thoughts and the changing weather that influences their mood. The character, presumably a painter, describes a chance encounter with a woman named Fortunata, who invites him to draw her son, Ndreuccio, a sickly child. This introduction sets the stage for a poignant depiction of mortality and the connection between art and life, as the narrator grapples with their emotions while painting the boy's portrait, indicating that the coarse realities of life often overshadow artistic aspirations.
