SOGNANDO
La donna ispiratrice
CARLO GOZZI E LA FIABA (1720-1806)
INDICE
A stern patriarch, convinced that only cold facts matter, raises his two children in a rigorously logical household, pruning away every hint of imagination, poetry, and feeling. His daughter Luisa and son Tom grow into efficient, disciplined individuals, yet beneath the surface a barren emotional landscape begins to crack under the weight of suppressed desires.
When Luisa’s forced marriage and Tom’s reckless choices expose the hollowness of their upbringing, the family is forced to confront the damage wrought by an education that denied the heart. Their struggle hints at the wider world of ordinary people who, despite hardship, cling to hope and simple joys. The story invites listeners to reflect on the balance between reason and imagination, and on how much of ourselves we are willing to sacrifice in the name of practicality.
