I promessi sposi. by Alessandro Manzoni
"I promessi sposi" by Alessandro Manzoni is a historical novel first published between 1825 and 1827. Set in Spanish-ruled Lombardy from 1628 to 1630, it follows humble protagonists through a turbulent era marked by plague and oppression. Based on rigorous historical research, including archive documents about the nun of Monza and the 1630 plague, it became Italy's most representative Romantic work and a cornerstone of modern Italian literature, breaking tradition by centering
common people rather than the powerful. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
