Emilio De Marchi. Condanna e perdono

Emilio De Marchi, author «who has felt his task as a vocation and a mission and not as a mere literary exercise», describes, through narrative fiction, experiences with which he has come into direct contact or through the chronicle of newspapers. The story A man condemned to death, released on "La Vita Nuova" in January 1876, the same year as Cesare Lombroso's The Delinquent Man, should be considered in the context of the commitment to reintegrate former prisoners into society, with the aim to spread the idea of ​​the Association of Patronage for those released from prison. The "vigorous reaffirmation of the morality of the ethical and civil conscience" crosses one of the most burning social problems of modern societies that want to correspond to the ideals of freedom and, in particular, to those human rights recalled by Cesare Beccaria and debated in the newborn Italian Parliament with the imposition of the positivist school of criminal anthropology.
The volume crosses and comments on the published and unpublished corpus of the novels, then dwelling on the fictional production between guilt, condemnation, infirmity.
Proverbially smiling under the long mustache, De Marchi conveys a "humorous" image: if the protagonist of The Hat of the Priest, the Baron of Santafusca, had lived in the time of the Unnamed, he would have also converted after having committed the crime.
