The book tells the story of two lovers, Renzo and Lucia, who must navigate the challenges and adversities posed by a corrupt society and forces beyond their control to find their way to one another. The opening portion introduces readers to the life and thoughts of the young poet Alessandro Manzoni, reflecting on his childhood and early influences in Milan. He shares memories of the beautiful landscapes and idyllic settings of his youth, hinting at how they shaped his poetic sensibilities.
