Synopsis

In this philosophical essay exploring the intersection between life, faith, and knowledge, a Neapolitan nobleman with a guilty conscience critically examines the principles of the Renaissance, broods over ‘the Southern Exclusion,’ and considers the future fate of Italy as he undertakes a defense of political and spiritual absolutism. A founding text of the ‘Nuovomorte,’ the despair, terror, love, and religious ecstasy as experienced during the early 17th century are here chronicled with a personal vehemence only possible in a mind bestriding two ages.
