D Camilleri had read only the 'intense biography of Pirandello Lugi: Biography of his son changed (2000), and the hilarious pastiche LascomparsadiPatò (2000) and I was both fascinated and for his obvious ability narrative, that the disenchantment with which humorous look at things in the world.

The historically proven fact that this work was chosen by the prefect of Caltanissetta, the Tuscan Bortuzzo, to inaugurate the local opera house, thus triggering the tragicomic series of events, which are the subject of the story is the famous Survey of conditions of Sicily 1875-76 .
The characters are expertly sketched with a few effective touches, and supplemented by dialogues that characterize the personality.

The granting of the phone has an opening quotation intriguing
