The story unfolds among a group of law students in Genoa, Italy, primarily following Tiberino and his companions as they navigate discussions about their idle lives and the allure of art and music. Central to the narrative is the poignant tale of a poor musician, known as Rossini, who suffers public humiliation while desperately trying to play for an audience. At the start of the novel, the narrative introduces us to Tiberino, who expresses his boredom while lounging in a café with friends. The students grapple with their ennui and consider leaving to attend university lectures. Meanwhile, they notice a curious scene unfolding outside the café, where a man dressed as a musician draws a crowd with his failed performance. This sets the stage for a poignant encounter that explores themes of art, poverty, and the human condition, leading to the deeper revelations about the musician's character and his connection to the titular saint, Cecilia, as well as to the lives of the observing students who reflect on their own feelings and aspirations.
