Summary "L'idolo" by Gerolamo Rovetta is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Giordano Mari, an esteemed speaker and historian, whose captivating oratory captures the hearts of many, particularly the young and impressionable Emma Dionisy. The novel delves into themes of love, ambition, and societal dynamics within the artistic and literary circles of Milan. At the start of the narrative, we find ourselves in a grand hall in Milan where Giordano Mari is delivering a passionate lecture on the precursors of the Revolution. His eloquence and charm draw the attention of the audience, especially Emma, who is enraptured by his words. Meanwhile, two other male characters, Nino Sebastiani and Guido Bardi, engage in a subtle rivalry for Emma’s affection, showcasing their jealousy over her interest in Mari. As their interactions unfold, the stage is set for a complex exploration of relationships, ambitions, and the societal expectations placed upon women and men in this vibrant setting.
