| Summary | "Cecco d'Ascoli: racconto storico del secolo XIV" by Pietro Fanfani is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the life of Cecco d'Ascoli, an important figure from the 14th century, exploring the rich historical context of medieval Florence, entangled with themes of social dynamics, power struggles, and personal relationships. The opening of the novel introduces a vibrant scene in Florence on July 26, 1326, as the city celebrates the arrival of Duke Carlo of Calabria. The festive atmosphere is tumultuous, with citizens displaying a mixture of excitement and apprehension towards their new ruler. Amidst this backdrop, we meet significant characters such as Cecco d'Ascoli, a controversial scholar and astrolger, and Dino del Garbo, a prominent physician entangled in political conflicts. The story presents an array of tensions, both societal and personal, indicating the central conflict between the emerging authority of the duke and the historical resentment towards figures like Cecco, setting the stage for drama and intrigue in this richly woven historical tapestry.
