The main characters in the novel are three: Mimo Vitaliani, Viola Orsini and a mysterious statue. He receives the worst cards from Fortune: poverty, loneliness, slave labor for a cruel and envious master-sculptor. But Mimo has brilliant hands and a very obstinate character! Viola, the heiress of an ancient and rich noble family, seems to get the most from fate, but she is eager to escape from the cage prepared for her, even if this cage is golden. Their meeting is an incredible coincidence and recognition at first sight, mutual attraction and struggle. Accomplices, rivals, enemies, best friends, sometimes getting closer and then going apart for a long time, Mimo and Viola pass through the madness of fascism, the test of fame and wealth.
A novel-adventure, a changeable and bright weaving of human destinies into the historical canvas.

This book is very French - workshop, clearly structured, verified to the slightest detail - and very Italian - generous, redundant carnival, grinding, scary, pathetic.
and dashing. Because it's such a character because it's such an era. Because that's life.
Alla Beljak, translator
