«Almeno il cappello» is the contemporary fiction novel by Andrea Vitali, published by Garzanti Libri in paperback (410 pages, in Italian).
In Bellano, on the lakeshore, the dishevelled band of maestro Zaccaria Vergottini embarrasses the town, so authorities and an amateur musician dream of a respectable musical ensemble. Amid waltzes, mazurkas, gossip, loves and quarrels, the arrival of accountant Onorato Geminazzi triggers a choral comedy about provincial life.
Originally published in 2009, it won the Casanova Prize and the Procida-Isola di Arturo-Elsa Morante Prize and was a finalist for the Strega Prize. It belongs to the Elefanti bestseller collection.
For readers of literary fiction who enjoy choral novels with an Italian setting and customs humour, and for fans of Andrea Vitali.
