Under the Shadow of Etna: Sicilian Stories


Lu par Mary J

(3.9 stars; 6 reviews)

The short stories of Giovanni Verga, one of the leading authors of Italian verismo, or realism, tell mostly of working-class characters in rural, 19th-century Sicily. One of these stories, "Rustic Chivalry," or "Cavalleria rusticana," was the basis for the opera of the same name by Mascagni. - Summary by Mary J (2 hr 14 min)
