Summary: "A Roman Singer" by F. Marion Crawford is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Nino Cardegna, a gifted yet humble young tenor who grows up under the care of Cornelio Grandi, a professor of philosophy. As Nino's musical talent blossoms, the narrative explores themes of love, ambition, and the social barriers that can complicate personal relationships, particularly as Nino becomes infatuated with Hedwig von Lira, a countess. The opening of the novel introduces us to Cornelio Grandi, who shares the backstory of his life and his relationship with Nino, whom he raised after the boy's mother passed away. Cornelio recounts how Nino, originally an ugly, dirty child with a remarkable voice, has grown into a talented young man. As Nino begins to study music under the mentorship of Maestro Ercole De Pretis, it is clear that he possesses a passion for singing that surpasses all else, despite Cornelio's hopes for him to pursue a scholarly path. The initial chapters establish the connection between Nino's burgeoning talent and his emerging feelings for Hedwig, setting a foundation for the intertwining of their fates amid the backdrop of societal expectations and romantic intrigue.
