The Marble Faun Chapter XLVIII - A Scene in the Corso

from The Nathaniel Hawthorne Library · host Nathaniel Hawthorne

In which the festive pageantry of the Roman Carnival unfolds with its ancient customs and faded splendour, revealing a city caught between mirth and melancholy under the weight of tradition and modern disillusionment. Among the throng and spectacle, a young man named Kenyon walks with a sober heart, observing the colourful procession and the curious interplay of jest and restraint that colours this peculiar celebration.
