“Aristocracy, Democracy, and the Church in Lampedusa’s The Leopard”
with Anthony Nussmeier, Ph.D.!
Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s posthumously-published novel (1958) recounting the southern perspective of Italy’s unification (1861) is an elegiac tale of a way of life in transition. Will protagonist Don Fabrizio, patriarch of the House of Salina, remain the aristocratic “Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina”, or will he become, in a new, democratic Italy, simply “Mr. Corbera”? Is Italian unification a true union or is it an imposition, even an invasion? What will be the role of the Church in a united Italy whose founders, observes the Jesuit priest Padre Pirrone in Part V of the novel, “won’t even leave us eyes with which to weep”? We will explore these questions and more in a six-part course on one of the Italian tradition’s most important works.
