Vittoria Accoramboni by Stendhal
"Vittoria Accoramboni" by Stendhal is a chronicle published in 1837. Based on Italian manuscripts discovered in 1833, this work recounts the true story of a beautiful noblewoman in sixteenth-century Italy whose life becomes entangled with murder, powerful families, and forbidden love. When Vittoria's husband is assassinated and she marries the suspected mastermind—a wealthy duke—their union sparks outrage and forces them to flee. The tale follows passion, intrigue, and violence through Rome, Venice,
and Padua, culminating in a deadly struggle over inheritance and revenge. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
