Question

Why did jacopo ask the narrator for a favour

Answer 1

As the narrator asked the two brothers if there was anything he could do for them before leaving Verona he would be very glad. The younger brother requested him to take them to Poleta in his car. He might have asked this favour because every Sunday they went to Poleta on bicycles. It was 30 Kilometers from Verona and must be very tiring. Nicola did not want this favour; however, when the narrator insisted he would really like to take them to Poleta in his car, he agreed to it.
