Summary "Il roccolo di Sant'Alipio" by Antonio Caccianiga is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the backdrop of the tumultuous era of Italy's wars of independence, focusing on the Larese family as they navigate the challenges posed by the Austrian authorities amidst their deep-seated patriotism and yearning for freedom. The narrative introduces us to key characters such as Sior Antonio, his wife Maddalena, and their son Tiziano, who must confront the harrowing realities of a regime that seeks to suppress their national aspirations." "At the start of the tale, we find ourselves in Pieve di Cadore during a snowy Christmas in 1847, where the Larese family prepares for their holiday meal while grappling with the loss of their patriarch, Taddeo. As the family gathers, there is a palpable sense of melancholy due to his absence, alongside rising tensions related to Austria's oppressive rule. The gathering is interrupted by a police raid, leading to Tiziano's arrest, which sets off a chain of events that will force the family to confront their political beliefs and the costs of their love for Italy. The opening effectively establishes the domestic lives of the characters against a backdrop of political unrest, foreshadowing the personal and national struggles that will unfold throughout the narrative."
