'If you tried to find Terramafiusa on today's maps, you couldn't find it. [There] lived Orestes, Prince of Terramafiusa, who learned how to smile at the age of twenty and has been smiling ever since. Mine will be the story of his smile and of the people who contributed to it. For this purpose, I have assembled Orestes with the other main characters on an old oak, on which they shall remain quietly seated until their personal introductions are completed'
(D. Gnoli, Orestes or the Art of Smiling, New York 1961, p. 7).
