About This Book

La narrazione si svolge nella vita quotidiana di una famiglia nobile veneziana e dei loro domestici, seguendo i preparativi e le tensioni generate da una regata reale e da un ricevimento mondano. Vengono tratteggiati vanità sociali, rivalità familiari e differenze generazionali attraverso molte scene domestiche: il giovane Leonardo, la contessa Chiaretta, la contessina Maddalena con il marito straniero, il vecchio conte immobilizzato e i barcaioli di casa animano episodi che combinano umorismo, pettegolezzo e rimpianto, mentre il racconto passa dalle stanze eleganti alle zone più umili del palazzo.
