From overwhelming passion to murder and madness in SicilyBy PhilidorIn his novel "Il marchese di Roccaverdina"; the Italian author Luigi Capuana (1839-1915) tells the story of the Marcheses relations with his servants; Agrippina Solmo and Rocco Criscione. They represent the feudal condition and are exploited as objects essential to the landowners wll being. This masterpiece of Italian "verismo" is a dramatic psychological portrait; a story of overwhelming passion that leads to murder and madness. In spite of the Marcheses aristocratic upbringing the key figures in his sentimental and social development are peasants; the nurse and caretaker Mamma Grazia; Agrippina and Rocco. After using Agrippina; for ten years; as his lover as well as his servant the Marchese succumbs to the pressures of the local nobility and for reasons of social convenience offers his young lover Agrippina as bride to his servant Rocco; after giving his word that he himself would treat her in future only as a sister. But he becomes increasingly tormented by jealousy and suspicion; murders his servant Rocco; and allows an innocent man to be imprisoned for the murder. After Roccos death; the Marchese attempts to live fully within the patrician conventions of his milieu;taking the noble-born Zograve;sima as his wife and frequenting the Casino. He remains; however; unable to overcome his sense of guilt; yielding; in the end; to folly; dementia and death.
