Die Stadt und das Haus

Ginzburg's depiction of Italy feels so intimate and layered—does the setting serve more as a backdrop or a character itself? What resonated most about the place's influence on the people?

The way the story shifts between moments felt like memories surfacing unexpectedly. Was this a conscious choice to mirror how we recall our pasts?

The subtle exploration of what makes a place feel like 'home' really stayed with me. I wonder what personal or historical factors led to this emphasis.
