"La vita che ti diedi" by Luigi Pirandello is a tragedy first performed in 1923. A mother has nurtured the memory of her absent son for seven years, keeping him alive in her imagination. When he suddenly returns after this long separation, she cannot recognize the stranger before her—he bears no resemblance to the vivid image she has preserved. His unexpected death soon after creates a profound question: which son has truly died, the real one or the one who lived in her memory? (This is an automatically generated summary.)
