The book immerses readers in the atmosphere of 15th-century Italy and centers around the siege faced by the Del Carretto family at Castel Gavone, touching on themes of nobility, bravery, and regional conflict involving the rival city-state of Genoa. At the start of the story, two travelers, a seasoned man named Picchiasodo and a younger noble companion, embark on a journey toward the region of Finaro in Italy. As they traverse the picturesque landscape, they discuss their motivations and the hospitality they expect upon reaching their destination. The scene quickly shifts to their arrival at a rural inn called "l'Altino," where they engage playfully with the innkeeper, Mastro Bernardo, and reflect on their plans against the backdrop of impending historical conflict. The opening chapters set a lively tone through character interactions and vivid descriptions of the landscape, hinting at the merging of personal stories and the larger, unfolding drama of 15th-century Italian politics.
