La signora del computo metrico - The Lady of the metric account is a novel of love for Naples. From the story that the narrator makes of his life, emerges the signs of a post-war neapolitan generation whom has dissipated its heroes and its utopies, in a city that devaluates the Being and lives happy in its forfeiture. And, just like the Lady, Naples remains in the waiting of a fatalistic redemption, suspended in a Beckettian time, in the balance between the hope, the charming memory of the past and its beauty of which it does not seem aware anymore.
