Description

Set against the glittering courts and bustling streets of late‑15th‑century Milan, this novel immerses the listener in a world of lavish festivals, emerging print culture, and fierce political rivalries. The story opens with the shocking murder of Duke Galeazzo Maria Sforza, an act that throws the city into turmoil while revealing both the cruelty and the charisma of its ruler. Through vivid description, the narrative paints a portrait of a society where art, music, and scholarship flourish even as power struggles loom.

Into this charged atmosphere steps the young Lodovico, Duke of Bari, whose ambition drives him toward the ducal throne. As he navigates alliances, family betrayals, and his own thirst for greatness, he surrounds himself with poets, painters, and architects, seeking to transform Milan into a new Pericle. The novel balances meticulous historical detail with the personal drama of a man poised to reshape his city, offering listeners a compelling glimpse of Renaissance Italy.

About the author

GC

Giovanni Campiglio

1804–1854

A little-known Italian writer of the early 1800s, he built his work around Milan’s past and turned history into vivid, story-driven fiction. Even though much of his life remains obscure, his novels still offer a window into 19th-century historical storytelling.
