Sinossi

Vivid Victorian Rome meets a soaring family saga, where childhood wonder and high-stakes society collide.

This novel pulls you into the life of the Feraldi family, patrician residents of Rome whose fortunes, alliances, and ambitions shape a city of ceremony, luxury, and danger. From Tolla’s carefree childhood among gardens and citron trees to the glittering salons and tense whispers of court life, the tale traces a girl’s awakening to faith, art, and the realities of aristocratic romance. Central figures mix charm with calculation as love, duty, and power pull them through a web of social expectations and moral questions.
