"Come le Foglie" by Giuseppe Giacosa is a four-act play written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Giovanni Rosani and his family as they face the consequences of financial ruin and impending change in their lives. Central to the narrative are Giovanni's relationships with his second wife Giulia and his children, particularly Nennele, highlighting themes of family dynamics, social status, and the struggle between past comforts and present realities. At the start of the play, the audience is introduced to the Rosani family's opulent yet now-abandoned home, as preparations for their departure to Switzerland underscore a sense of decay and loss. The characters converse about the impending move, hinting at the family's financial struggles. Nennele expresses her sorrow over leaving behind her childhood home while also touching on her aspirations for a new life. The dialogue reveals the emotional tension surrounding their situation, with characters such as Tommy illustrating a mix of humor and tension as they navigate their uncertain future. The opening sets the stage for deeper conflicts around identity, class, and familial obligations as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
