Project Gutenberg 2004-05-01 Public domain in the USA. 118 Zùccoli, Luciano 1868 1929 Zuccoli, Luciano Ingenheim, Luciano, conte di Il Designato: Romanzo Produced by Distributed Proofreaders Europe at http://dp.rastko.net in cooperation with Progetto Manuzio, http://www.liberliber.it Project by Carlo Traverso, revision by Claudio Paganelli "Il Designato: Romanzo" by Luciano Zùccoli is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the intricate lives and emotional landscapes of its characters, exploring themes of love, societal expectations, and personal identity. Central to the narrative is Sergio Lacava, who seeks the hand of Lidia, the daughter of the affluent Pietro Folengo, setting in motion a profound exploration of relationships and the challenges faced by young couples. At the start of the novel, we find Sergio in a state of anxious anticipation as he awaits a meeting with Mr. Folengo, who is both a businessman and Lidia's father. The scene is set in a rather cluttered and uninspiring salon that reflects the personality of Folengo, a character portrayed as serious and administratively minded. As their conversation unfolds, Sergio straightforwardly asks for Lidia's hand in marriage. The reactions of both Folengo and his wife, Teresa, reveal the dynamics of familial approval and societal pressures lurking behind the romantic intentions. This opening sets the stage for an intricate narrative that will follow the trials and hopes of their budding relationship against the backdrop of societal expectations.
