The narrative seems to revolve around the complexities of political and personal ambition in relation to Rome, with a focus on the character Francesco Sangiorgio, a newly elected deputy. The novel likely explores his aspirations and inner struggles as he navigates the world of politics, intertwining with broader themes surrounding Rome and its significance. The opening of the novel presents a scene on a train traveling from Naples to Rome, where we meet Francesco Sangiorgio, who is unable to sleep despite the calmness surrounding him. He reflects on his past, his journey from a small village, and his recent ascension into the political arena, marked by receiving a golden medallion—a symbol of his new status. As he grows increasingly impatient to reach Rome, Serao effectively conveys Sangiorgio's emotional turmoil, feelings of loneliness, and expectations. Visual imagery of the countryside contributes to the sense of longing, while hints of Sangiorgio's ambition and his relationship with the city of Rome begin to unfold, suggesting that his political journey will be closely tied to his personal experiences and desires.
