Giocare d'azzardo

The tension between the characters felt so authentic and layered. I'm curious what inspired the author to explore this particular relationship arc in a historical context.

Those moments were so heartfelt, but the story felt a bit slow at times. Was that intentional to build emotional depth or just how the story evolved?

The setting added so much flavor and complexity to the characters' struggles. Wondering if real history or personal interest shaped this choice.
