1827 Betrothed Lucia Manzoni Milan Pastoral Rodrigo
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the moment of pure joy and love on the wedding day of Don Rodrigo and Lucia, two beloved characters from Alessandro Manzoni's classic novel "I Promessi Sposi" (The Betrothed), set in 16th century Milan, Italy. The pastoral scene is filled with the warmth of the Italian sun, casting a gentle glow over the newlyweds as they dance together, surrounded by the lush greenery of the countryside. Don Rodrigo, a nobleman, and Lucia, a humble and virtuous peasant girl, were betrothed despite the objections of Don Rodrigo's mother and the interference of the corrupt and powerful Abbot of Monza. Their love story, filled with trials and tribulations, has become a symbol of enduring love and devotion in Italian literature. Published in 1827, "I Promessi Sposi" is considered a masterpiece of Italian literature and a cornerstone of the European novel. Manzoni's intricate and detailed portrayal of life in 16th century Milan, from the daily struggles of the common people to the intrigues of the nobility, has captivated readers for generations. This beautiful print, reminiscent of the pastoral scenes depicted in the novel, is a testament to the timeless nature of Manzoni's story and the enduring power of love. The image of Don Rodrigo and Lucia, dressed in the fashion of the time, dancing together on their wedding day, is a reminder of the simple joys and pleasures of life, even in the midst of adversity.
