Summary "La moglie di Sua Eccellenza" by Gerolamo Rovetta is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set primarily in an alpine hotel in Switzerland and revolves around the complex interactions of various characters, particularly focusing on the life of Maria Grazia, a young woman caught in a web of social expectations and personal turmoil. The novel seems to touch upon themes of marriage, wealth, and social class, likely exploring the contrasts between the aristocracy and the nouveau riche. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the bustling atmosphere of the Tête-pointue hotel as Mr. Trüb, the hotel manager, frets over the rainy weather that threatens his guest's enjoyment. The opening sequences build up the humor and tension as he interacts with clients, notably a disgruntled baron, and introduces us to various characters, including the demanding missis Eyre, who is obsessed with the hotel's rules and services. We also meet the D’Orea family, who are en route to the hotel and represent the titular "Eccellenza." Through chaotic arrivals and the trivial concerns of the aristocratic guests, Rovetta sets the stage for deeper explorations of personal and societal issues that could unfold as the story progresses.
