Summary:

"Due amori" by Salvatore Farina is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story explores themes of friendship, love, and the struggles of growing up as experienced through the lives of a group of young boys in a boarding school, highlighting their relationships and the challenges they face. The narrative features the main character, Giorgio, and his deepening friendship with a boy named Raimondo, as well as their complex interactions with their peers. At the start of the novel, Giorgio reflects on his recent arrival at a boarding school where he meets various boys, including the somber and reserved Raimondo. Despite his initial reluctance to approach Raimondo, an undeniable attraction draws Giorgio towards him. As the boys navigate their school life, they are subjected to the dynamics of rivalry and camaraderie, leading to a shared experience of persecution from an overseer named Don Giuseppe. In a moment of solidarity, Giorgio and Raimondo endure punishment together, strengthening their bond and paving the way for a deep friendship that continues to evolve throughout the narrative.
