Under the generous sun of Lombardy, the love of a young couple, Renzo and Lucia, blossoms. The wedding day has already been set, but, to her misfortune, the girl has caught the eye of a noble gentleman, Don Rodrigo. Intimidated by the arbitrary feudal lord, the village padre begins to dodge, refusing to marry the betrothed. The desire of the lovers to live in a legal marriage despite the absurd objections of the padre leads to a series of events that begin in the style of commedia dell'arte and unfold against the backdrop of a large-scale historical panorama of Italian life in the seventeenth century with all its upheavals, including war, plague and famine.

Alessandro Manzoni's novel is rightfully considered not only an immortal classic of Italian literature and a basic work in the development of the modern Italian language, but also a symbol of the Risorgimento - the national movement for the liberation of Italy from foreign rule. However, the main merit of this vivid, rich storyline and character-driven narrative is the convincing triumph of simple and pure love, which even the horsemen of the Apocalypse cannot trample.
