English to Italian: Come Cenerentola (ISBN 9788858942895) General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English The house—it was too small to be called a palace—sat at the top of a hill, overlooking thick woods and a river. At a distance, it appeared to be the same as when Mamma was a girl: stately, welcoming, a place of parties and balls, where visitors came to spend long weeks, where Mamma and Papa had danced until dawn the night of their wedding. But once a traveler drew near, changes appeared. Holes gaped in the roof; some of the windows lacked glass, and most were bare of the curtains that would have softened their black emptiness. The few remaining shutters dangled unevenly and banged when a high wind blew.
Translation - Italian La casa, troppo piccola per definirla un palazzo, stava in cima alla collina, e sovrastava boschi fitti e un fiume. A distanza, sembrava la stessa di quando mamma era ragazza: maestosa, accogliente, un posto dove tenere feste e balli, dove gli ospiti andavano a trascorrere lunghe settimane, dove mamma e papà avevano danzato fino all’alba il giorno del loro matrimonio. Ma quando si arrivava più vicini, si vedevano le differenze: buchi che si spalancavano nel tetto, alcune finestre senza vetri, la maggior parte anche senza tende. Le poche ante rimaste pendevano in maniera irregolare e sbattevano quando soffiava un vento forte.
