Summary:

Eärendil does not remember Gondolin. As he grows up, he tries to reconstruct it through the stories of those who once lived there; yet every memory is different, shaped by the grief of those who lost it. Thus the city becomes a constellation of versions that can never truly be held together.

It's touching how Earendil tries to put what he learned from Idril into practice to comfort people, when he is still so young.

I like how you make this a piece about memory and imagination, as well as grief.

(I am glad you are also posting in Italian, although I appreciate the English translation.)
