"Parassiti: Commedia in tre atti" by Camillo Antona-Traversi is a theatrical play written in the late 19th century. This work presents a portrait of a certain class of opportunistic individuals within society, specifically focusing on the protagonist, Commendatore Don Gennaro Gaudenzi. Through this character and his interactions, the play likely addresses themes of morality, social critique, and the human condition, often using comedy as a vehicle for deeper commentary. At the start of "Parassiti," the author provides a backdrop of personal struggle and the quest for success after a tumultuous period in his life. The protagonist, Don Gennaro Gaudenzi, is depicted as a quintessential figure of a societal parasite, someone who thrives on the misfortunes of others while navigating the complexities of his family dynamics, primarily concerning his daughter and her romantic prospects. The atmosphere is set with a focus on Roman society, where personal aspirations seem to intersect with broader social issues, leading the audience on a comedic yet poignant exploration of human relationships and societal expectations.
