Summary "L'Illusione" by Federico De Roberto is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative introduces us to a family setting, centered around the grand arrival of the grandfather, with playful interactions among the grandchildren, particularly focusing on Teresa and Lauretta. The story explores themes of familial relationships, nostalgia, and the contrasting atmosphere between the vibrant city of Florence and the quieter, more provincial life in Milazzo. At the start of "L'Illusione," we witness a cheerful reunion as Teresa eagerly waits for her grandfather’s return to Florence. The scene is filled with lively exchanges between family members and the children’s excitement. However, the joy is quickly shadowed by hints of underlying tensions involving the adults, particularly regarding the father’s absence and the mother's fragile emotional state. As the narrative progresses, Teresa showcases a mixture of youthful exuberance and growing awareness of the complexities within family dynamics, setting the tone for her character’s development throughout the novel.
