Project Gutenberg 2008-11-04 Public domain in the USA. 206 Boccardi, Alberto 1854 1921 Il peccato di Loreta E-text prepared by Braidense, Carlo Traverso, Claudio Paganelli, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreaders Europe "Il peccato di Loreta" by Alberto Boccardi is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a picturesque setting in the Friuli region of Italy and introduces the Sant'Angelo family, particularly focusing on the complexities faced by its members. Central characters include Giovanni Sant'Angelo, a well-respected doctor, and his wife Chiara, alongside their son Mattia, whose lives intertwine with the unfortunate Loreta Lambertenghi, unveiling themes of love, duty, and the trials of familial connections. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Sant'Angelo family and their beautiful home that has been in the family for generations. Giovanni, who once studied medicine in Padua, has returned home to run the family café, and he marries Chiara, with whom he has a son named Mattia. The narrative hints at Giovanni’s involvement in political movements during the tumultuous times leading up to the 1848 revolutions in Italy. As the story unfolds, tension builds around the family's past and current struggles, particularly when unfortunate news about Loreta Lambertenghi—a young woman steeped in tragedy and connection to the Sant'Angelo family—begins to affect their tranquil life. This opening portion sets the stage for exploring the moral dilemmas and societal expectations of family life in a changing Italy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
