La vicenda - mentre a Roma si sta riunendo il conclave per l'elezione del nuovo papa - è ambientata ad Almeda, un paese immaginario della Sicilia occidentale, in un tempo ambiguo, in un'atmosfera percorsa dal senso della fine e del male. Un umile impiegato di provincia, Taddeo Medina, attore dilettante di sacre rappresentazioni, improvvisamente durante la recita del Mortorio impazzisce, un suo amico, Temistocle Gasdia, che interpreta Giuda muore sulla scena. Tre loro amici, appassionati come i primi di funerali, sotto la guida di uno dei tre, Vargas, si prendono cura del folle. Partendo da una strana lettera trovata nel copione del Gasdia, in un cui si parla di un Protocollo per l'elezione del papa, mentre si occupa con gli amici del folle Taddeo che progressivamente si trasforma in poeta musico e infine in maestro e profeta (tra gli altri, Lao-tzu, Confucio, Krishna, Milarepa, Padmasambhava, San Francesco, Ahmed, Salomone, Y.), Vargas indaga.

A History of Siena

From its Origins to the Present Day

By: Mario Ascheri,Bradley Franco

A History of Siena provides a concise and up-to-date biography of the city, from its ancient and medieval development up to the present day, and makes Siena’s history, culture, and traditions accessible to anyone studying or visiting the city. Well informed by archival research and recent scholarship on medieval Siena and the Italian city-states, this book places Siena’s development in its larger context, both temporally and geographically. In the process, this book offers new interpretations of Siena’s artistic, political, and economic development, highlighting in particular the role of pilgrimage, banking, and class conflict. The second half of the book provides an important analysis of the historical development of Siena’s nobility, its unique system of neighborhood associations (contrade) and the race of the Palio, as well as an overview of the rise and fall of Siena’s troubled bank, the Monte dei Paschi. This book is accessible to undergraduates and tourists, while also offering plenty of new insights for graduate students and scholars of all periods of Sienese history.
