520 _a"Cardello" by Luigi Capuana is a novel written in the late 19th century, during the Italian literary movement known as verismo, which aimed to depict everyday life and the struggles of common people. The story revolves around the main character, a young boy named Cardello, who is drawn into the world of puppetry as he aids a burattinaio (puppeteer) known as Orso peloso. Through his experiences with the burattini, Cardello encounters various aspects of life, including the joy of performance and the hardships of his socio-economic reality. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Cardello, a curious ten-year-old boy living in a small village who eagerly observes the arrival of a traveling puppeteer. As he assists Orso peloso with preparations for a puppet show, Cardello experiences excitement mixed with trepidation as he takes on small tasks and dreams about potentially becoming a puppeteer himself. The opening sets up a vivid picture of village life and the intrigue surrounding the burattini, laying the groundwork for themes of aspiration, creativity, and the bittersweet nature of childhood dreams amidst the backdrop of poverty and personal struggles. As Cardello becomes increasingly involved in the puppeteer's world, readers are drawn into his journey of self-discovery and the trials that come with it.
