Best Italian novels about the life of the upper classes?

Do you guys now more novels about the lives of Rich Italian families, like The Leopard, preferably settled on the period between wars, or during World War II?

Also, do you know more books about rich Jewish families during World War II, like “The Garden of the Pinzi-Contini”?

I thought that the tradution of "Gattopardo" was "Ocelot". Anyway you might read "Zeno's conscience" expecially for the last part. I can't think anything else

Most of D'Annuzio's novels

Actually it's "Serval"
But The Ocelot or The Serval doesn't have the same effect as The Leopard or Il Gattopardo
