| Summary |
"Saper vivere: Norme di buona creanza" by Matilde Serao is a guide on etiquette and social manners written in the early 20th century. The work aims to instruct readers on the finer points of living gracefully in society, focusing on behaviors that cultivate social harmony and respect. It addresses the importance of a secondary education, one of which is understanding and practicing good manners in various social situations. The opening of the text sets the stage for Serao’s exploration of etiquette by establishing that while basic manners are typically instilled from childhood, advanced social skills often depend on one's environment and personal experiences. Serao emphasizes that true etiquette is nuanced and varies across different cultures and traditions. She outlines the necessity of this knowledge for everyone, regardless of their social standing, as it fosters a successful and harmonious existence. This introduction not only signals an intent to provide practical advice but also frames Serao as a knowledgeable guide through the complex social landscape of her time.
