Synopsis

The first of Stendhal's novellas that comprise his *Italian Chronicles*, this story is considered a literary gem. Stendhal begins with a prologue of sorts about the sixteenth century and the state of mind of the people of Florence, but he soon begins to weave a tale about an impossible love between a well-intentioned bandit named Julio Branciforte and a noble young lady, the beautiful Elena Campireali. The tale slowly acquires psychological depth and transforms from the picturesque into the dramatic: the characters make mistakes and are selfish and extremely cruel, all of which is justified in the name of that disproportionate feeling that was known as love in Renaissance Italy. *La primera de las novelas cortas que conforman las* Crónicas italianas *de Stendhal, ésta historia es considerada un joya literaria. Stendhal arranca con una suerte de prólogo sobre el siglo XVI y la mentalidad de los florentinos, pero pronto nos comienza a narrar un amor imposible entre un bandido bueno llamado Julio Branciforte y una joven noble, la bella Elena Campireali. Poco a poco la historia adquiere profundidad psicológica y pasa de lo pintoresco a lo dramático: los personajes cometen errores y son egoìstas y extremadamente crueles, todo lo cual se justifica en nombre de ese sentimiento desproporcionado que es el amor en la Italia renacentista.*
