Senilità

Not so long ago Emilio Brentani was a promising young author. Now he is an insurance agent on the fast track to forty. He gains a new lease on life, though, when he falls for the young and gorgeous Angiolina--except that his angel just happens to be an unapologetic cheat. But what begins as a comedy of infatuated misunderstanding ends in tragedy, as Emilio's jealous persistence in his folly--against his friends' and devoted sister's advice, and even his own best knowledge--leads to the loss of the one person whom, too late, he realizes he truly loves.

First sentence: AT ONCE, with his very first words, he wanted to make it perfectly clear that he had no intention of beginning anything in the nature of a serious flirtation.
