Niccolò de' Lapi; ovvero, i Palleschi e i Piagnoni
"Niccolò de' Lapi; ovvero, i Palleschi e i Piagnoni" by Massimo d'Azeglio is a historical novel published in 1841. Set during the 1529 siege of Florence, it follows eighty-nine-year-old silk merchant Niccolò de' Lapi as imperial forces threaten the city's republican freedom. Caught between rival factions—the Savonarola-nostalgic Piagnoni and the Medici-supporting Palleschi—Florence faces betrayal and uncertainty. Through family struggles and personal trials, the novel weaves a tale of resistance, loyalty, and the fight to preserve liberty against overwhelming odds.
