moreLa stanza di Andrea Trevisan is inspired by a dramatic event which took place at first in an isolated village in the Padua countryside, but then unfolded in Venice by involving some important judicial institutions of the Serenissima. Love, anger and enmities seem to unescapably push the protagonists toward a violent and tragic destiny. The emotional and sentimental background brings to light an enveloping narrative that outlines the main political and cultural features marking a republican power deeply rooted in the conflicts between the lagoon noble houses. However, from within the Ducal palace, the Council of Ten emerged from the final decades of the Sixteenth century to enforce a new political course and flat-out affirm the obligation for peace between noble houses, as it assumed the exclusive domain to regulate any form of violence arising within the Venetian ruling class. La stanza di Andrea Trevisan discloses therefore how the elaborate and contested emotional level, especially if analysed in light of the interpersonal relations put forward by such case-study, is inestricably bound to the political and cultural context which gave life to it and made its peculiar imprint on the evidence that passed on its memory.
