Summary "Diana degli Embriaci: Storia del XII secolo" by Anton Giulio Barrili is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set in the early 12th century and revolves around the titular character, Diana degli Embriaci, and her life in the coastal city of Genoa during the era of the First Crusade. The story is likely to delve into themes of love, ambition, and adventure, intersecting personal destinies with significant historical events. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Diana, a beautiful young woman standing atop the Embriaci tower in Genoa, eagerly awaiting the return of her father, Guglielmo Embriaco, from the Holy Land. The chapter details her longing as she observes ships approaching the port, signaling the return of crusaders, and reveals her inner conflicts—particularly her feelings for Arrigo da Carmandino, a nobleman and aspiring crusader. As excitement builds with the arrival of the fleet, Diana's thoughts also reflect the personal sacrifices tied to the broader backdrop of the crusade, foreshadowing the challenges and relationships that will unfold throughout the narrative. The rich historical setting and the character's emotional depth suggest a compelling fusion of romance and adventure against a tumultuous historical backdrop.
