In this introductory story to The Piazza Tales, the protagonist initially envisions a beautiful, idealized location on a mountain, only to discover it is a house inhabited by an unhappy girl named Marianna. As he observes her longing to see the person in the white house she gazes upon, he recognizes that his own idealism may also be an illusion. The narrative explores themes of perception and the nature of ideals.
