| Summary | "Vittoria — Complete" by George Meredith is a historical novel written during the mid-19th century. The story takes place against the backdrop of the Italian Risorgimento, a period of social and political upheaval aimed at unifying Italy. The narrative includes a diverse cast, notably focusing on characters like Carlo Ammiani, an idealist fighting for Italy's freedom, and the titular character, Signorina Vittoria, a strong-willed cantatrice with ties to the movement. At the start of the book, the scene is set on Monte Motterone, where a group of five Italians climbs to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Lombard plain. During their ascent, they discuss the political climate of the time, including the looming involvement of King Charles Albert in the national struggle. The characters are introduced with rich descriptions, revealing their personalities and motivations. The narrative hints at a brewing conspiracy for revolution, with Agostino, an experienced elder, leading the discourse, while Vittoria's impending connection to a significant event in Milan is foreshadowed through a gathering of revolutionary figures discussing plans that depend on her public performance. The detailed prose paints a vivid picture of the landscape and the characters, establishing a foundational tension between personal aspirations and the larger nationalistic cause.
