Summary "O I Francesi e gli Sforzeschi: Storia Italiana" by Giuseppe Rovani is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the tumultuous period of the 16th century in Italy, particularly the interactions and conflicts between the city-states, the French powers, and the influential Sforza family. The narrative seems to center on the character of Manfredo Palavicino, a young Milanese nobleman whose life is intertwined with the historical backdrop of familial loyalties, political strife, and personal vendettas. The opening of the work introduces readers to the historical milieu of Milan, depicting a stark contrast between the city's former prosperity and its subsequent decline. Through the character of Manfredo Palavicino, Rovani explores themes of honor, politics, and personal struggle as Manfredo grapples with his family's legacy and his own convictions amidst the looming threat of French influence in Italy. The narrative begins with a detailed scene showcasing the aftermath of an assassination attempt on Manfredo, capturing the anxieties of the Milanese populace and setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the characters' motivations and the societal tensions of the time.
