| Summary | "La plebe, parte IV" by Vittorio Bersezio is a social novel written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life of Maurilio Valpetrosa, who has recently taken up the role of secretary to the Marchese di Baldissero, navigating the complexities of an aristocratic household while grappling with his own aspirations and anxieties. The themes of social class, ambition, and emotional turmoil are thoughtfully explored through Maurilio's interactions with the nobility and his reflections on his past. At the start of the narrative, we see Maurilio settling into his new position at the Marchese's palace. Overwhelmed yet proud of his newfound status, he finds himself in an elegant room, where he contemplates the implications of his appearance and identity—a "new Maurilio." As he prepares for a dinner with the Marchese's family, his thoughts shift between his ambition and his hidden feelings for the noble Virginia, revealing both his insecurities and the flickering hope that he may uncover truths about his birth. The opening also hints at impending conflicts, particularly surrounding Virginia’s previous interactions with Francesco Benda, potentially setting the stage for dramatic developments in both Maurilio’s personal life and the larger social context of the story.
