Summary: "La pergamena distrutta" by Virginia Mulazzi is a historical novel set in the 16th century. The story unfolds in Sicily during a time of social and familial intrigue, centering around the noble family of the Duca dell'Isola. The narrative begins with the dying duke revealing a long-held family secret that sparks tension and conflict among his children, particularly concerning their disinherited uncle. The opening of the novel introduces us to a somber scene as the duke is on his deathbed, seeking confession and preparing to divulge a crucial secret about his family. His son, Don Francesco, alongside his two sisters, Donna Maria and Donna Rosalia, are present, displaying a mix of anxiety and skepticism regarding their father's revelations. The atmosphere is thick with anticipation as the duke struggles to disclose his secret, intertwining themes of honor and reparation as he reveals the existence of a previously unacknowledged brother. The scene is particularly heightened by the impending death, which sets the stage for familial strife, personal agendas, and the consequences of past actions on the lives of the younger generation.
