Summary "Vittoria — Volume 6" by George Meredith is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. It unfolds against the backdrop of revolutionary Italy, examining themes of war, patriotism, and personal conflict through the lives of its characters. The narrative introduces several main characters, including the resolute Wilfrid Pierson and the enigmatic Rinaldo Guidascarpi, as they navigate their loyalties and struggles during a time of political turmoil. The opening of the novel immerses the reader in the tense atmosphere of Milan amid the Tobacco Riots, where social unrest brews as civilians protest against tobacco use by the occupying forces. Amid the chaos, we meet Wilfrid, who becomes embroiled in the conflict as he interacts with Rinaldo and a woman serving in a cigar shop, showcasing the stark divide between the Italian populace and the Austrians. As the story unfolds, we witness the violent confrontations that erupt in the streets and the impact on soldiers and citizens alike, with Wilfrid's character facing physical danger and moral dilemmas. The chapter sets an intense stage for unfolding personal and political dramas, hinting at larger themes of vengeance, loyalty, and the human cost of revolution.
