| Summary |
"Parvenze e sembianze" by Adolfo Albertazzi is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is likely set in a rich historical backdrop, focusing on themes of love, ambition, and social standing, featuring characters such as messer Bertramo d’Aquino and madonna Fiola Torrella, whose interplay suggests a tale of unrequited love and moral dilemmas. The opening of the novel introduces the lavish court of Carlo primo d’Angiò, where the noble knight Bertramo d’Aquino becomes infatuated with Fiola Torrella, the wife of his friend Corrado. Despite his valiant attempts to win her affection through acts of bravery and grandeur, Fiola remains aloof, motivated more by her pride than by any genuine coldness. As the story unfolds, dusty doubts begin to lift when Fiola inadvertently hears praise for Bertramo’s character, revealing her growing admiration, which ultimately leads to a conflicted meeting under the cover of night, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of faithfulness and desire.
