Итальянская драма посвящена трагической судьбе писателя Джакомо Леопарди. Будущий писатель родился в 1798 году и был настолько болезненным и застенчивым ребенком, что практически не выходил из дома. Свою недолгую жизнь Леопарди провел в огромной библиотеке отца, самостоятельно изучая языки и постигая другие науки. Отшельничество и чрезмерные умственные нагрузки еще больше подорвали его здоровье. Когда Джакомо все же пришлось покинуть родной дом, это стало для него невероятно сложным испытанием.

Set in the 1790s, this historical drama follows the travails of an idealistic noblewoman who helps lead a daring revolution in Italy.
