Col fuoco non si scherza by Emilio De Marchi
"Col fuoco non si scherza" by Emilio De Marchi is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to two main characters, Beniamino Cresti, a reclusive gardener, and Massimo Bagliani, a more socially active diplomat, as they rekindle their friendship after many years apart. The novel explores themes of human relationships, solitude, and the quest for love, especially within the context of societal expectations. At the start ofthe narrative, we meet Beniamino Cresti, who eagerly awaits the arrival of his old friend Massimo at the docks of Tremezzo. Cresti, a misanthropic yet gentle man, is portrayed as someone who has distanced himself from the complexities of life, preferring his secluded existence filled with gardening. As Massimo arrives, the scene captures their reunion and hints at the changes that both have undergone during their time apart, with undercurrents of nostalgia and personal reflection. This opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration into the characters' evolving identities and emotional journeys, particularly concerning their pasts and future hopes.
