Ernesto is sixteen years old and ready for life to begin. His curiosity leads him into an affair with an older man the first step on his journey to adulthood.
Full of tenderness, humour and warmth, Ernesto is a beautifully and empathetically rendered coming-of-age story set in fin de siècle Trieste. Written in 1953, when the author turned seventy, but not published until 1975, Ernesto is the great Italian poet's most personal and confessional novel.
