"Idiots at the first competition for a monument to Vittorio Emanuele in Rome" is a stormy and satirical comedy by the Italian writer Carlo Dossi. In this work, the author sharply and humorously ridicules the social and political realities of his time through the prism of an absurd competition to create a monument to a great historical figure.
The action takes place in Rome, where there is a competition for the best project of a monument to Vittorio Emanuele, the first king of Italy. Contest participants, many of whom are creators known not for their talents, but for their absurdity and mania, turn events into an incredible circus filled with comic situations and absurdity.
The author skilfully combines the sharpness of satire with the depth of life wisdom, revealing through laughter the most acute problems and contradictions of society. "Idiots at the first competition for a monument to Vittorio Emanuele in Rome" is a work that leaves behind not only a cheerful mood, but also deep reflections on human nature and modern society.
