Summary "Poesie scelte" by Silvio Pellico is a collection of selected poems written in the early 19th century. This volume encapsulates Pellico's emotional depth, touching on themes of love, suffering, and resignation, reflecting the essence of life as experienced by the author. Notably, one of the featured works is "Francesca da Rimini," which recounts a tragic narrative rooted in love and familial conflict. The opening of "Poesie scelte" introduces readers to "Francesca da Rimini," a poignant tragedy that begins in Rimini, showcasing a conversation between Lanciotto, Francesca's husband, and Guido, her father. The dialogue reveals Francesca's inner turmoil and heartbreak stemming from her feelings towards Paolo, Lanciotto's brother, who unintentionally killed her first love. Tensions and emotional complexities unfold as the characters grapple with love, betrayal, and the shadow of familial duty. At the start, Francesca's love for Lanciotto is complicated by her memories of Paolo, illustrating the intense and tragic consequences of love intertwined with fate.
