Publisher's summary

Ambientato a Roma nel 1927, il capolavoro di Gadda prende avvio da un furto di gioielli a casa della vedova Menegazzi e dal brutale omicidio della bella e malinconica Liliana Balducci, avvenuto a distanza di qualche giorno nel medesimo palazzo di via Merulana. Protagonista dell’intrigo poliziesco, il commissario don Ciccio, alle prese con un groviglio di indizi, piste false e sospetti. Apparso a puntate su "Letteratura" nel 1946-47, il romanzo di Gadda uscì in volume nel 1957, ottenendo subito un’enorme risonanza, a tal punto da suscitare allo scrittore l’esclamazione: "Sono diventato una specie di Lollobrigido, di Sofio Loren".

Gadda masters Italian dialects

As well as police detective genre. The book is also a marvelous description of Italy during 'il ventennio'. I loved the epithets used for Mussolini and how Gadda ridicules him and his arrogance. Gifuni is the cherry on the top of the cake, he acts majestically the deeds of Ingravallo and colleagues.

capolavoro di GADDA con lettura superba di Gifuni

leggere Gadda è un lungo esercizio di plasticità pittorica, qualche volta di difficile comprensione ma sempre un capolavoro. Ascoltare Gifuni leggere Gadda è la esperienza necessaria per il totale godimento della opera. Da degustare.
