L'avvocato De Gregorio

De Gregorio is a lawyer, even though he doesn’t look like one. He is an old man with a repulsive look and he lives in a not-so-very-fancy tiny house on Spaccanapoli which consists only of a big room. This room would be empty if it weren’t for three faded photographs: the first and second ones showing respectively a young and a freshly graduated De Gregorio, the third one him and his wife. A newspaper clipping, in which he is charged with fraud against a client, is hung beside them. Truth be told, he’s actually guilty: he had to swindle that client in order to pay for his son’s medical cures, and for this reason he was condamned and emarginated. Only with the help of magistrate Foloni De Gregorio will regain both his human and professional dignity.
