(0.00 / 0 votes)The events I am about to describe
happened in Florence
a troubled time, if I remember well.
This ancient city,
like so many others of our country,
dark and difficult times.
What we went through then
is still present
in the memory of those
who were involved.
But at the same time
it's already history.
Take my story, for example,
the story of an Italian,
Back then I worked at a printing press
by the Mugnone river
provide for myself alone.
Every day, as soon as work was over
I raced home.
to meet with the girl
to whom I was then engaged:
Bianca Quagliotti,
the daughter of a sweet-seller.
It was the end of April,
or the beginning of May, 1925.
She arrived as usual that evening,
with her friend Clara
and with the air of someone
who has big news to tell.
Mario!
Ah! I had to pull a thousand
tricks to get out tonight.
And Clara kept me waiting!
- Slow down, you look flustered!
- Well yes... no, don't you start.
I've got good news.
Maciste said yes.
Margherita persuaded him. They're
expecting you tonight if you want.
- Are you happy?
- What a question! Of course!
Just think. We can say goodnight
You'll hear the bells of
the Palazzo Vecchio every hour.
And what do you do? Count them?
One, two, three, four, five...
- Again!
- Isn't it hot, Bruno?
- The questions you ask!
- Why?
I want to know what's in your head
when I kiss you.
- That I like you.
- So why are you asking if I'm hot?
I've got to change the subject
or you'd never finish!
And you wouldn't even
want to start!
You're beastly.
I have to go now.
Let me go.
Look, Clara's waiting.
So, what do I tell Margherita
when I see her tomorrow evening?
I can't just move out
at a moment's notice.
Let's do it on Saturday,
that way I'll have my week's pay
and I can give her notice.
Margherita isn't doing this
out of self-interest!
She's not even a landlady!
Rather, try to make a good
impression with Maciste.
A good impression, hmm...
Then all I need to do is turn up!
Don't be cocky! Bye, see you tomorrow!
Lowlife!
- Bye!
- Bye.
- Evening.
- Evening.
And so, the following Saturday
I went to live
in Via del Corno, renting from
Maciste the blacksmith.
Mario Parigi!
Pleased to meet you!
So you've come to live here, eh?
Bravo!
Margherita!
It's that boy!
- Good day, Signora!
- Yes yes, send him up.
Go on up! And careful on
the stairs, ok?
May I?
Mario Parigi, at your service!
- What a pleasure! Excuse me...
- Please.
I'm just getting this washing in!
It's stunning here! Takes your
breath away, but it's worth it!
I'll show you the room.
Don't expect too much.
To be honest, we don't need to,
but that Bianca insisted...
Yes, I know! Here, let me carry that.
Put it there, thanks.
Don't worry.
Here it is!
Ah! This is a real palace!
Once you get used to it...
Compared to where I lived before...
- Let's hope you're better here.
- I'm sure I will be!
Bianca had told me so much
about Via del Corno
and its inhabitants who I was
now meeting one by one,
taking care not to mistake them.
My future father-in-law,
Bianca's father,
returned with his basket of sweets.
Staderini, the cobbler,
was putting away his tools
helped by his wife, Fidalma.
And Signora Armanda
and my mother-in-law
were back from the church service.
Ugo, Maciste's friend,
was back from his job as a
