| Summary | "Il Conte di Virtù vol. 1/2" by Carlo Belgiojoso is a historical novel set in the 14th century. The narrative presents a tale woven with elements of Italian history, exploring themes of love, honor, and the complexities of personal virtues amid societal decays. At its center is the character Agnesina, a young woman grappling with her feelings and the expectations placed upon her during a tumultuous period that is rich with legends and superstitions. The opening of the story introduces a mysterious, abandoned dwelling on the outskirts of Pavia, deeply shrouded in local lore and fear. It is described with detail, hinting at its dark past and the various superstitions surrounding it, including ghost stories and ominous apparitions. Inside this dilapidated structure, we find Agnesina, who reflects on her past with a mix of hope and sorrow, as she navigates her emotions tied to her family and unfulfilled aspirations. This blend of gothic mystery and personal turmoil sets the stage for her inner conflict, revealing a young woman on the brink of discovering her identity against the backdrop of historical Italy.
