Summary "Pe' belli occhi della gloria: Scene quasi vere" by Salvatore Farina is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the life of an artist named Mattia, exploring the interplay between artistic ambition, personal relationships, and the often harsh criticism of the art world. The book delves into themes of glory, recognition, and the struggles of an artist seeking validation in a society that can be both supportive and adversarial. The opening of the novel presents Mattia as an accomplished painter who experiences deep dissatisfaction with the criticism he receives, particularly from critics like Sincerus and Novus, who he feels misjudge the essence of his art. Despite achieving recognition for his work, Mattia grapples with a profound longing for true validation and struggles with the loss of his supportive wife, Tomasina. As he reflects on his experiences and frustrations, we are introduced to his son Tito, who is also navigating the complexities of his own artistic aspirations and romantic encounters. The stage is set for an exploration of familial bonds, the pursuit of artistic integrity, and the quest for personal fulfillment amidst external pressures.
