La Duchesse de Palliano
Stendhal
In sixteenth-century Rome, Violante, Duchess of Palliano, lives at the heart of the powerful Carafa family’s rise and fall. Her love for Marcel Capecce, revealed by her attendant Diane Brancaccio, unleashes a vengeance dictated by family honor. Drawing on chronicles and trial records, Stendhal tells a tragedy of passion, power, and cruelty.
