Summary "Fra le corde d'un contrabasso: racconto" by Salvatore Farina is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story appears to explore life in a quiet rural setting, focusing on the experiences and aspirations of the protagonist, Orazio, who is an unconventional young man with a passion for music and an unusual outlook on life. The narrative seems to weave themes of love, nature, and the creative process, revolving around Orazio's interactions with his family and community. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the picturesque surroundings of Pasturo, where Orazio, described as handsome yet quirky, has returned with a contrabass, an instrument that is unusual for the area. The opening sets a tranquil scene of village life and hints at Orazio's inner thoughts and musings about music and nature. We see him interact with his relatives, including Concettina, who is drawn to him, although complications arise with the arrival of Ambrogio Nespoli, a suitor for Concettina. As Orazio recovers from an injury, his philosophical discussions about the sounds of nature and his artistic ambitions unfold, providing a glimpse into his character and foreshadowing future tensions regarding love and ambition in the face of societal expectations.
