| Summary | "La fiaccola sotto il moggio" by Gabriele D'Annunzio is a tragedy written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in an ancestral home and revolves around the lives of the de Sangro family, particularly focusing on characters such as Gigliola, Tibaldo, and Bertrando, amidst themes of familial betrayal, tragedy, and the weight of legacy. The atmosphere is steeped in tension and decay, setting the stage for emotional conflicts and dramatic confrontations. The opening of the play introduces a dilapidated ancestral home where Gigliola, a deeply troubled character, reveals her anguish and the haunting memories of her mother’s tragic fate. Donna Aldegrina, her grandmother, and the nursemaids discuss the state of their home, which appears to be on the brink of collapse, echoing the disintegration of their family dynamics. As the characters confront the realities of their lives, tensions escalate—with hints of conflict and betrayal brewing, particularly between Tibaldo and Bertrando, the half-brothers. The scene captures the oppressive atmosphere of their environment, foreshadowing the turbulent and tumultuous events to come in the tragic narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
