The Patriot: Piccolo Mondo Antico is a novel written by Italian author Antonio Fogazzaro and published in 1906. The story is set in the small town of Val di Ledro in the Italian Alps during the mid-19th century. The protagonist, Franco Maironi, is a passionate and idealistic patriot who is torn between his love for his country and his love for the beautiful and wealthy Emilia Nardi.Franco's political beliefs and actions put him at odds with the conservative and traditionalist society of Val di Ledro, and he becomes isolated and ostracized. Despite this, he continues to fight for his ideals and becomes involved in the Italian Risorgimento, a movement for Italian unification.The novel also explores themes of family, religion, and social class. Franco's family, particularly his mother, plays a significant role in his life and his decisions. The Catholic Church also has a strong presence in the town, and its influence on the characters is a recurring theme. The divide between the wealthy and the working-class is also highlighted, as Franco's love for Emilia is complicated by their different social statuses.Overall, The Patriot: Piccolo Mondo Antico is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of love, politics, and society in 19th century Italy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
