"Anonimo Veneziano" is the name of the oboe concerto, but perhaps he is referring to the protagonist or his wife. It's a very specific film that encapsulates the kind of marital rebirth depicted in "Viaggio in Italia" in a single day in Venice, but it's extremely disappointing that the film didn't get any more recognition than its theme song and the episodes surrounding it.
The performances of the two actors are excellent. This is not only because the two actors play the folds of the human psyche and the subtleties of human emotions with great finesse. They are wonderful in their own right. As actor-director, Enrique Maria Salerno narrows down the characters to an extremely abstract level. The fact that important characters (e.g., his two sons) only appear in dialogue is an example of this. It's as if they are the only two people who exist here in Venice. This is accentuated by the editing, where the landscape, cityscape and buildings are the focus of long shots, even though they are in the middle of the dialogue. We are forced to accept the sadness of the last sequence, but it is also directed at the end of the film's duration.
