| Summary | "Virtù e delitto : O la famiglia del masnadiero: novella storica del secolo XVI" by Gaetano Barbieri is a historical novella written in the 19th century. The story unfolds in 16th-century Calabria, focusing on the life and challenges of its characters amidst the backdrop of societal injustices, crime, and moral conflicts. The narrative introduces us to a range of individuals, including the beautiful Maria Solis, her beloved Captain Luigi Grifone, and the enigmatic bandit known as the Leone, raising questions about virtue and vice in a tumultuous time. The opening portion of the novella sets the stage during a local festival in 1510, featuring vivid descriptions of the bustling marketplace and the characters present, including the superstitious townsfolk and the whispers about the notorious bandit. Amidst this lively scene, Maria Solis captures the attention of Captain Luigi, while dark undertones of violence and crime loom in the background. As conversations unfold, the presence of the Leone creates tension, alluding to his controversial reputation as both a violent outlaw and a champion of the poor, generating contrasting sentiments among the characters. The narrative intertwines the lives of these individuals, hinting at romantic entanglements and personal conflicts, foreshadowing the moral complexities that will emerge as the story progresses.
