«La figlia di Iorio» is the tragedy by Gabriele D'Annunzio, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (98 pages, in Italian).
The work is set in the Abruzzo region and centers on Mila di Codra, a young woman accused of witchcraft who arrives at the home of Aligi, a shepherd betrothed to another woman. The encounter between them unleashes a forbidden love that clashes with the superstitions and laws of a rural community, in a plot of elemental passions and tragic destiny.
The work premiered in 1904. This complete edition includes an introduction by Giovanni Antonucci and belongs to the Tascabili economici Newton collection.
Recommended for readers of classical theater and Italian literature, as well as for those studying modern tragedy.
General Gabriele D'Annunzio, Prince of Montenevoso, sometimes written d'Annunzio as he used to sign himself, was an Italian poet, playwright, orator, journalist, aristocrat, and Royal Italian Army officer during World War I. He occupied a prominent place in Italian literature from 1889 to 1910 and in its political life from 1914 to 1924. He had the epithets il Profeta and il Vate : vate stems from the Latin vates, meaning a prophetic, divinatory, or inspirational poet.
