A Roman Singer
About This Book
Cornelio Grandi, speaking in the first person, recounts raising an orphaned boy, Nino, whose prodigious singing talent reshapes both their lives. The narrative follows Nino's musical training, early lessons and performances, and his passionate attachment to a young noblewoman, while tracing how ambition, social difference, and patronage generate moral dilemmas and personal sacrifice. The storyteller pieces together memory and others' testimony to reflect on duty, regret, reputation, and the costs that pursuit of artistic success imposes on friendships and fortunes.
