Il visconte Medardo tornò al suo castello dopo la
guerra. Un colpo di cannone lo aveva colpito in
pieno. Di lui sembrava fosse rimasta solo la metà
cattiva ……

The Viscount Medardo returned to his castle
after the war and was cut half by a cannonball
hitting him square in the chest. Appeared to him
had remained only half bad ….

Entrambi si innamorarono di Pamela e decisero
di sfidarsi a duello
L’uomo s’avventava contro di sé, con entrambe le
mani armate d’una spada

Both fell in love with Pamela and decided to
challenge to a duel
The man was fighting against himself, with a
sword in both hands

Il dottor Trelawney riuscì a bendare strettamente
le due metà insieme
Ma non basta un visconte completo perché
diventi completo tutto il mondo …….
Ma, nonostante i suoi difetti, Medardo si sposò
finalmente con Pamela, da cui ebbe molti figli…..

Dr. Trelawney bound tightly the two halves
together
But a whole viscount isn’t enough to make all the
world whole …….
In spite of his faults, Medardo married Pamela,
and had many children…..
