Santippe: Piccolo romanzo fra l'antico e il moderno

A brief novel that bridges ancient and modern sensibilities through a sequence of conversations and reflective digressions. An outspoken woman challenges a philosopher with serious questions, prompting meditations on youthful beauty, mortality, and the nature of wisdom. The narrative interweaves affectionate evocations of classical landscape and art with ironic observations about contemporary inventions and social habits, mixing gentle satire, anecdote, and philosophical reflection. Compact and lively, the work alternates dialogue-driven scenes with authorial commentary to explore gender relations, cultural memory, and the tensions between idealized past and pragmatic present.
