Aurelia. 3:30 in the morning. On the way home from a wedding. A man witnesses an accident, and now, months later, he is called upon to “explain himself” before a judge. But testifying requires knowledge of the facts of the case, and he finds this difficult. Because in an age when everything must be clear, he is at the mercy of the waves.

The comic and harrowing story of Alfredo Beaumont, an ordinary man who, following an accident (which he caused, for which he feels responsible, and for which he will be acquitted), falls into a deep crisis and becomes a villain. Suddenly, society throws open all its doors to him: Alfredo advances in his career, women desire him, and he is healed of his ills and fears. Migliore is a story about our times, about people who build their success on ruthlessness, cynicism, and contempt for others. And about the paradox of the despised who, in the face of these people, bow their heads and fascinated let them pass.

A portrait of Italy viewed through its unhealthy relationship with food—a symbol of overabundance and false prosperity, but also of psychological abysses and unbridgeable voids: people eat excessively to forget, to avoid thinking, to avoid curiosity, to avoid being themselves, to replace someone who isn’t there or something they don’t have. Between anger and irony, the text condemns the indifference of which Italy is capable, and which finds its highest expression, its ideal setting, at the table, in front of sumptuous dishes.
