The opening of the novel introduces readers to a vibrant scene unfolding on October 7, 1838, during a regatta in Venice, where the preparations at Palazzo Bollati are bustling. Young Leonardo, the heir of the Bollati family, eagerly awaits the spectacle, while his father, Count Zaccaria, discusses the expectations surrounding their participation.
