| Summary | "Racconti" by Francesco Dall'Ongaro is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories encompass various themes, drawing from folklore, history, and the human experience, likely exploring the intricacies of love, social dynamics, and moral dilemmas. The opening narrative, titled "La Donna Bianca dei Collalto," hints at an intertwining of personal and historical narratives, where characters grapple with the legacies of past families and legends. The beginning of "Racconti" introduces the story of the White Lady of Collalto, a ghostly figure tied to a tragic family legacy. The narrator sets out on a journey from Conegliano to Collalto, eager to investigate the legends surrounding this apparition. Along the way, he meets Franceschi, the chronicler of the Collalto family, who provides insight into the stories and historical context that enshroud the White Lady. The backstory reveals a tangled web of love, jealousy, and betrayal involving the Count Tolberto, his unkind wife Aica, and the beautiful damsel Bianca, who is mysteriously linked to their fates. Aica's jealousy ultimately leads to tragedy for Bianca, setting the stage for the haunting that the residents believe to forewarn significant events for the Collalto family.
