| Summary | "Orlando Innamorato" by Matteo Maria Boiardo is a chivalric epic poem written in the late 15th century. This work unfolds the trials of Orlando, a noble knight, as he is driven by love, primarily focusing on his infatuation with Angelica. The poem weaves together themes of love, honor, and heroism, set against a backdrop of chivalric struggles and magical elements. At the start of the narrative, a gathering of knights and nobles is called to hear the tale of Orlando, who becomes enraptured by Angelica's beauty. As the story unfolds, we learn about the fierce knight Gradasso, who desires to conquer Orlando and claim Angelica for himself. Simultaneously, the scene shifts to King Charles and his knights preparing for a grand tournament in Paris, where both Christian and Saracen warriors gather, hinting at the legendary conflicts to come. The opening sets the stage for a rich tapestry of adventures, emotional turmoil, and legendary battles that will define Orlando's quest for love and glory.
