| Summary | "The Memoirs of Count Carlo Gozzi; Volume the First" by Carlo Gozzi is an autobiographical work written in the late 18th century. The book explores the life and thoughts of Count Carlo Gozzi, a significant yet often overlooked figure associated with Venetian literature and the Commedia dell'Arte. It offers insights into his experiences, notably his interactions with other prominent playwrights and social figures of his time, as well as reflections on Venetian society during its period of decline. At the start of this memoir, the author introduces himself and the context in which he is writing. Gozzi describes his familial background and social standing as a member of the Venetian nobility, albeit without true patrician roots. The narrative detail focuses on a specific episode involving a conflict with Pier Antonio Gratarol, a secretary in the Venetian government, which serves as a backdrop for Gozzi's reflections on his life. The opening sets the tone for a detailed exploration of Venice's cultural landscape, Gozzi’s literary endeavors, and his combative relationships with contemporaries, with hints of both humor and the turbulence of his personal and professional life.
