Baron Lamberto is a very old, very rich, and very sick man who lives in a villa on the island of San Giulio. He discovers a mysterious system to stay alive: as long as his name is spoken, he will not die. He hires people to chant his name 24 hours a day, leading to a series of extraordinary and humorous events involving his greedy nephew and a group of bandits.
Giovanni Francesco "Gianni" Rodari was an Italian writer and journalist, most famous for his works of children's literature, notably Il romanzo di Cipollino. For his lasting contribution as a children's author, he received the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1970. He is considered Italy's most important 20th-century children's author, and his books have been translated into many languages, though few have been published in English.
