Poesie scelte

Silvio Pellico’s selected verses gather his most intimate reflections on love, loss, and the yearning for a higher purpose. In a tone that balances gentle lyricism with sober contemplation, the poems explore the tender moments of affection and the inevitable resignation that follows life’s trials. Listeners will hear the poet’s voice echoing through timeless meditations on faith, sacrifice, and the simple yet profound beauty of everyday devotion.

The volume also presents the opening act of his dramatic work “Francesca da Rimini,” set in a noble palace of Rimini where family loyalties and forbidden passions begin to surface. Through lively dialogue, characters such as Lanciotto, his brother Paolo, and the tragic heroine Francesca confront love, honor, and the looming shadow of conflict. The scene captures the fragile balance between hope and dread, inviting the audience into a richly textured world of Renaissance intrigue and emotional depth.
