Conchetta was Mr. Pignati’s wife. She died sometime before the events of the story take place, and Mr. Pignati is still grieving her—so much so that he can hardly confront her death directly. When John and Lorraine first meet Mr. Pignati, for instance, he claims that Conchetta is away visiting relatives. Unlike John’s and Lorraine’s parents, Mr. Pignati and Conchetta really seemed to love each other and make each other happy. Mr. Pignati associates Conchetta with his beloved pig collection, so when Norton Kelly destroys the pigs during a party John organizes that gets out of hand, it crushes Mr. Pignati.
