Karisto Oy, 1928 N2 - "Aseistettu rakkaus" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against a backdrop of intrigue and political machinations in Renaissance Italy, particularly focusing on the character Francesco del Falco, known as Aquila, who finds himself embroiled in conspiracies against the Duke of Babbiano. At the start of the novel, a group of noblemen, including Francesco, gathers in a humble tavern, engaged in a secretive meeting. They discuss the rising threat posed by the Duke, Gian Maria Sforza, who is characterized by his reckless indulgence and negligence towards state affairs. During this meeting, it is revealed that a spy, Masuccio Torri, has been lurking nearby, causing tension and fear of betrayal among the conspirators. Recognizing the urgency of their situation, the nobles contemplate joining forces to overthrow the Duke, with Aquila being a pivotal figure in this plot, leading them into a spiral of adventure and danger.
