L'Innocente

A tormented aristocrat sits before an unseen judge, confessing a crime that has defined his existence. His voice is calm, almost clinical, as he recounts the calculated murder he committed at home and the weight of a secret he has carried for a year. The opening pulls listeners into a claustrophobic world where legal judgment seems irrelevant to his own moral reckoning.

The narrative then slides back to a sun‑drenched provincial villa, where the same man once celebrated a quiet Easter with his wife Giuliana and their two young daughters. Beneath the idyllic scene lies a widening chasm: infidelities, bitter duels, and a relentless pursuit of pleasure have eroded the foundations of his marriage. Through vivid, almost tactile description, we feel the perfume of violets, the coldness of an olive branch placed on a bed, and the growing alienation that drives him toward ruin.

Laced with lyrical prose and a relentless introspection, the story explores how self‑justification clashes with conscience. Listeners are invited to navigate the thin line between refined elegance and moral decay, sharing the narrator’s uneasy journey toward an inevitable confession.
