| Summary |
"Io cerco moglie!" by Alfredo Panzini is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Cavalier Ginetto Sconer, who humorously grapples with the idea of marriage while navigating the complexities of societal expectations and personal desires. It reflects Sconer's quest for a wife while detailing his unique personality and the various women he considers suitable for marriage, highlighting both superficial and deeper qualities. At the start of the narrative, Ginetto Sconer presents himself as a well-mannered and financially stable gentleman, ready to seek a wife primarily for securing his lineage. He jests about his own character traits and life choices while engaging with the absurdities of modern courtship. His conversations with his friend Lionello unveil his criteria for a potential spouse, which range from physical attributes to moral qualities. The opening sets a comedic yet introspective tone as Sconer begins to compile a list of candidates, revealing both the societal expectations of marriage and his own apprehensions about finding a suitable partner amidst the colorful personalities he encounters.
