Happy Birthday, Ms. Fantozzi! 🌹
(A small question, is her given name a common one in Italy? I'm assuming it means "fifth" just like in Portuguese?)

When the young commander of the guard declared his love for her, she rejected him simply because his frivolity startled her. "See how simple he is," she told Amaranta. "He says that he’s dying because of me, as if I were a bad case of colic."

@mmnmadv91 Quinta is not a so common name in Italy but it exists as Prima, Quarta, Settima/Settimia or even, Ultima/Ultimina...

@ale76 Oh, that's quite interesting to know, thank you for the information! Over here, names such as Primo/Segundo/Secundina did exist in the past, but were quite rare.
