Sant' Ilario is a novel written by F. Marion Crawford. It is a romantic story set in the late 19th century in Italy, and revolves around the lives of two young people, Corona and Giovanni. Corona is a beautiful and wealthy heiress who is engaged to a man she does not love, while Giovanni is a poor artist who is deeply in love with her. When the two meet, they are immediately drawn to each other and begin a passionate affair. However, their love is threatened by the social conventions of the time, as well as by the machinations of their jealous and scheming rivals. As the story unfolds, the two lovers must navigate a series of obstacles and challenges in order to be together. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including aristocrats, artists, and revolutionaries, who add depth and complexity to the narrative. Ultimately, Sant' Ilario is a tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption that explores the themes of class, identity, and the power of passion.The idea of a sudden journey, terminating in the gloomy fortress of Saracinesca, was pleasant to his humour. The old place was ten times more grim and dismal in winter than in summer, and in his savage mood he fancied himself alone with his wife in the silent halls, making her feel the enormity of what she had done, while jealously keeping her a prisoner at his mercy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
