A rare work, indelibly etched in memory, by the significant poet and representative of 19th-century British Romanticism, Percy Shelley, refers to a true story of abuse and patricide that took place in a well-known noble family in Rome in the 1600s.

The form of the abused daughter, who in her short life suffered the abuses and violence of her father, and her tragic end became a symbol of resistance for the Roman people and a source of inspiration for many works of art.

The poetic writing, rich in meanings, the subtle psychograph of the heroes, the reference to justice and freedom, the limits of morality, through a dynamic plot, make this work unique.

Indeed, the author himself does not present the horror on stage; he implies it, believing that the high moral purpose of art is to teach the human soul about itself.
