Summary of Vanin Vanini

Vanina Vanini
Vanina Vanini is a Roman aristocrat, a “black-haired girl with a fiery gaze,” feeding contempt for the timid and insignificant soul of the young people of her circle, but selflessly falling in love with the young Carbonari, whose courage and willingness to perish for liberating Italy from the Austrians meet the passion and pride that set her apart itself. Having faced the need to make a sacrifice to duty, V. and Pietro, like the characters of the classicist literature, must choose between loyalty to the motherland and the fidelity of the feeling, and this is the choice of fate. V. chooses love; To save Pietro, she gives out the police to the remaining members of his entourage. A crime that is perfect for love is not justified; it is not repairable, no matter what titanic efforts V. applied in order to get the lover out of prison who voluntarily surrendered, suspicions of betrayal. B.’s destiny is the hatred of Pietro awaiting execution
