I Bianchi e i Neri: Dramma

The drama reconstructs factional conflict in medieval Pistoia, following how an interpersonal insult escalates into revenge, mutilation, and a cycle of bloodshed between rival noble families and their adherents. Characters include members of leading households, brigands, and clergy, and the action moves from private vendetta to public violence: ambushes, arson, killings, and political alignments that fracture the city. A mix of historical commentary and staged scenes traces causes and consequences, depicting how personal grievances become communal warfare and how honor, cruelty, and vengeance reshape social order.
