Gian Burrasca: A Rascal in the Stoppani House

This Gian Burrasca by Savelli (loosely based on Il giornalino di Gian Burrasca by the Florentine journalist Antonio Bertelli, known as Vamba) is the story of the end of a childhood; not only that of the restless rascal Giannino Stoppani, but also of the newborn, fragile, confused post-Risorgimento Italy, ironically called 'Italietta'. We are in a petit-bourgeois drawing room in Florence around the turn of the 19th/20th century, between the Bersaglieri entering at Porta Pia and the blackshirts entering Rome. Taking advantage of the parents' absence, three sisters with very different personalities court their three suitors, who are also very different in temperament and political aspirations. But, to their misfortune, lurking among sofas and carpets is a true troublemaker: little brother Giannino, called Gian Burrasca.
