The Priest's Hat is a suspenseful, moving, and darkly funny tale loosely based on Count Alessandro Faella's murder of the priest Virgilio Costa in Imola in 1881. Against the background of late nineteenth-century Naples, the novel brings us the meltdown of an aging playboy, Carlo Coriolano, the last baron of a once-wealthy and powerful clan. Il Barone has squandered his inheritance and now can't support his extravagant tastes. He's been banned from his club and depends on his loyal, long-suffering housekeeper for pocket change. And if he doesn't repay an old loan, he'll soon be in jail. His solution is to lure to his crumbling, mortgaged ancestral estate, a greedy old priest, murder him, and then take possession of the priest's considerable riches. Of course, it all goes wrong, and the priest's hat takes us through a mirrored maze of guilt and self-deception as the baron attempts to maintain his equanimity and social position. A precursor of the Italian giallo genre, The Priest's Hat was first published in 1887 in installments. Echoing his contemporaries Dostoyevsky and Dickens, De Marchi intended this novel as an accessible yet literate expos of contemporary Italian society with its culture of gossip, rumor, and superstition; of powerful gangs and clergy; of misleading new philosophies, a frivolous, inept and corrupt media, and an inequitable justice system.First modern English translation of Il cappello del prete (1894).Introduction and notes. 192 pages.

This book explores images of Venice in the written and visual art of the multitalented American writer, painter, lecturer, and engineer Francis Hopkinson Smith (1838-1915). A successful artist and intrepid traveller, F. Hopkinson Smith spent every summer in Venice for almost twenty years: his stays in the Italian city resulted in a large output of watercolours and writings, including his popular travelogue Venice of To-Day (1895), which featured over 200 illustrations by Smith himself.Despite Smith’s popularity during his lifetime, his reputation as a writer and painter faded after his death and has occupied only a modest place in the American canon. This is the first scholarly work to examine the life and work of this unique American artist, whose legacy spans two centuries and was grounded in the enduringly popular fin-de-siècle. This book examines Smith’s literary and visual perception of Venice while illuminating the life and works of this multifaceted artist, whose works are highly illustrative of the era's mainstream American culture and its perception of foreign spaces.
"Il cappello del prete" considerato uno tra i primi veri romanzi polizieschi in lingua italiana. Nel romanzo, ambientato a Napoli, appunto un cappello a essere l'unica traccia che conduce a svelare l'uccisione di un prete affarista da parte di un nobile spiantato.
