Summary "S. M. La Regina: romanzo" by Nicola Misasi is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of Napoleonic invasions in Italy, the narrative focuses on a pivotal historical moment involving the Queen of Naples, Carolina d'Austria, and her struggle against foreign occupation. The story unfolds with a mix of regal splendor and the turmoil of a nation facing existential threats, showcasing the resilience of its central figure. The opening of the novel introduces us to the tense atmosphere in Naples as news of an impending French invasion reaches the royal court. With the reigning monarch, King Ferdinand, fleeing to Sicily amid chaos and fear, the indomitable Queen Carolina remains resolute in the palace, rallying support and hope among her people. Amidst a backdrop of lavish festivities, a masquerade ball unfolds in the royal theater, blending an air of celebration with clandestine tensions. Powerful characters, including brigands and loyalists, are introduced, reflecting the complex socio-political landscape of the time, while the Queen's determination shines through, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation with destiny.
