Summary "I Rossi e i Neri" by Anton Giulio Barrili is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in 1857, primarily in Genoa, following the life and struggles of Lorenzo Salvani, a young and aspiring poet who is influenced by the legacy of his father, a heroic soldier, as well as his relationship with Maria, a woman of mysterious origins. The narrative explores themes of love, ambition, and political unrest, set against the backdrop of Italy's tumultuous history. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a beautiful day in February, where the vibrant city of Genoa comes to life despite the winter season. We meet Lorenzo, who is depicted as a solitary figure deeply immersed in his studies and reflections, haunted by the memories of his late parents and the societal expectations around him. His straightforward existence is disrupted when a visitor, the flamboyant and slightly troublesome Collini, arrives seeking Lorenzo's assistance in a duel stemming from an insult at a social gathering. This sets the stage for a narrative rich in character development and social commentary, hinting at the intersections of personal relationships and the broader political tensions of the era.
