But Lucia, for the sake of truth also reveals that aspect. After the interview the cardinal was holding with the hosts, and the tailor who would make a good impression with some quotes learned, he can hardly speak. Before leaving, Frederick promised to seek news of Renzo. Speaking with the pastor, the bishop finds a way to tailor the reward for his generosity will pay the debts that the villagers have contracted with him. Returning to the castle, the Unnamed convene its good with the usual authorities. He communicates his conversion and gives them new measures to ensure that its territories are not committed more violence and lawlessness.

On hearing the story of those events, people find the courage to express his hatred of Don Rodrigo, the mayor, Azzecca-tangles and all other friends of the gentleman. The latter, annoyed by that talk and did not wish to meet with Cardinal Federigo, who announced a visit to the village, he leaves for Milan accompanied by the Griso and the other good. The inhabitants of the village of Renzo and Lucia joyfully welcome the visiting bishop, just do Abbondio, annoyed by the whole soul and worried about possible accusations of Frederick, does not share the general joy. After an initial meeting between the cardinal and the priest is sent to a stretcher to the house of a tailor to bring Agnese and Lucia to the country to discuss with them about a future arrangement. During their stay at the house of a tailor, and Agnes Lucy found a certain serenity, though the talk of Renzo remain very sad. Lucia is always shielded from prying eyes, but, bowing to pressure from the tailor and Prassede aristocratic woman, is forced to go to the latter's house for a meeting. Prassede woman, intrigued by the story of Lucia, offering hospitality and shelter to the young. The intent of the noblewoman is not only to protect the girl, but also to make her forget that Renzo, according Prassede woman is a crook. We thus discover that the surface is a noblewoman who practice charity without really want the good of others.

CHAPTER XXVI
Chapter XXVI opens with Don Abbondio trying to answer questions from the Cardinal Federigo becoming increasingly pressing. In fact, the curate, weighs another serious charge: that of not marrying the two promised. Don Frederick Abbondio asked what he would do if required to do so. The Cardinal, at first, replied that he should do his duty and marry them, then, that instead he could have sought the intervention of its bishop. But Frederick is not to make the Inquisitor understands what the fabric is nice and while not forgiving him, comforted him and encourages him to hope to resistance in the name of the great values \u200b\u200bof religion: our life should be measured and benchmarked against the background earthly things but of the eternal afterlife. Dall'Innominato meanwhile come to the cardinal a letter with a hundred crowns should be used for the dowry of Lucia. But that, when pressed, now revealed to his mother's vote: the calls for patience and to send half the money to Renzo. Di Renzo in the State of Milan nobody knows anything, not even the Cardinal can not know something. This is because Renzo, warned that he was wanted by the police in charge of Venice from Milan, at the suggestion of his cousin had changed its name to Antonio Rivolta and changed mill.
CHAPTER XXVII
The author is preparing to provide information on the war of succession to the duchy of Mantua and Monferrato. Vincenzo Gonzaga, died and was succeeded by Carlo Gonzaga, the French branch of Nevers. Spain's opposed to Mantua, Ferrante Gonzaga, Prince of Guastalia, and the Monferrato Carlo Emanuele I of Savoy. Don Gonzalo, governor of Milan in Italy wants to make war desire for personal glory and sides with the Duke of Savoy, to share with him the Monferrato. Therefore lead to the siege of Casale, but the operation was long and unsuccessful. His protest at the Venetian Republic with regard to the escape of Renzo is revealed due to quotas on political grounds, but the time passed, the governor does not intend to deal with the character. Meanwhile Renzo wants to hear from him the two women, but not knowing how to write, it must turn to those who can do it and make him share its secrets. You start as a chart, or quickly, or adjust with Agnes. The operation to communicate through the mediation of professional writers and literary readers turns out to be very complex. The young man in every way from Agnes receives the gift of fifty crowns' Unnamed, indecipherable to voting news around Lucia's advice and put your heart at peace. But he firmly rejects the suggestion and said to keep the money as the dowry of Lucia. She, when he learned that Renzo is safe and sound, try and just want a great relief that he "thinks forget it", and proposed to do the same. To complicate matters involved Prassede woman, seeking every opportunity to talk about Renzo as a criminal, thinking that they forget to do Lucy. The young person feels constantly forced to defend his promise and is therefore in a large disturbance. Fortunately, Lucy is not the only person who aims to guide women Prassede. At your disposal are a number of daughters and husband, Don Ferrante, a man of learning who do not like either command or obey: So leave the Government House with his wife but is jealous of its independence. His reign is the library, where he collected more than 300 volumes. It is thus more than an amateur in astrology, philosophy in his preference is to Aristotle, the natural sciences rather than deepen the study of magic and witchcraft, because it spells to defend themselves from others. Indoctrinated in the history and politics, deserves and has the title of professor in the science of chivalry, so that he would often turn in affairs of honor. But here the narrator stops, not to merit by the reader, along with the anonymous, the way of nuisance. He spent a year in which you do not register any change in the conditions of the characters. E 'instead of the story "great" that is going to mess up, like a large turbine, with the general and dramatic events, including the lives of the humble.
CHAPTER XXVIII
The narrator is preparing to commemorate the great historic events that involve the characters the novel. Recall the story of the history of Milan from the tumult of San Martino, he notes that the provisions of the authority that established the political price of bread flour and the population led to a consumer without saving that aggravates the condition of shortage of stocks. Laws seeking to take corrective and threaten severe punishments on offenders, until, around the date of execution of the four unfortunates held responsible for the riot, violent fare that is abolished. But now the conditions are very severe famine and the narrator, on the basis of reports of the time, intends to make a portrait. The work is stopped and Milan fell to an index performance. For the professional beggars adding new classes of poor impoverished: journeymen, laborers, servants made redundant and also good. But the worst performance is offered by farmers from the countryside are pouring into the city, in the hope of some benefit or charity. The deaths are becoming more frequent. Many are also the signs of charity is that of the individual, is the largest organized by Cardinal Federigo, who had chosen six priests that could run for the city and helping the most serious cases. But the need is so widespread that the charity is forced to choose and not enough to bring a sufficient remedy. The contrast between wealth and poverty, a characteristic of the century, is now reduced, because the nobles maintain only a semblance of mediocrity seemed. Under these conditions the looming danger of contagion. After much hesitation it was decided to concentrate all the beggars in the hospital, a building constructed prior to welcome the sick of the plague. Those who enter voluntarily are few, so it resorts to coercion. In the military hospital overcrowding, lack of hygiene and promiscuity make it even more painful coexistence and mortality increases. The measure is so clear and the echo of the ancient city back to complain. Meanwhile, however, is ready, the new crop: farmers returning to their work, stop the famine and the mortality rate decreases. But the looming new scourge of war. The diplomatic intrigues among the majors, having put an end to the siege of Casale, leads the 'imperial army to cross the Milanese to go to the siege of Mantua. The troops Lanzichenecchi, professional soldiers that make it up, bring with them the plague, but the authorities underestimate this danger. Removed for the bad success of the war, Don Gonzalo left Milan accompanied by jeers of the people who blame the hunger suffered under his rule. Like all the armies of the time, even the German practice, the looting of the countries that met in its path and its descent through the Valtellina and the Valsassina brings terror and destruction.
CHAPTER XXIX
Abbondio Meanwhile, Don, received news of the arrival of the army, determined to go first of all, followed Perpetua, as incapable of reason for fear. He begged for help from the window to his parishioners, but they do not escape the busy standing there at all. Then came two of Agnes, who proposed to travel with her at the Nameless, as all three took to the fields, although Don Abbondio grumbling. They found themselves in the country and the tailor went to visit him, this did take figs, peaches, boiled chestnuts and began to talk about the good patient who had chosen at the Unnamed. Abbondio Don was in a hurry, so he found a tailor to cart second half of the trip. The Nameless on the day of conversion was always intent on doing good in these times and had spread the news that his house is always open to those in need, putting some farmers to guard the castle, also get commissions for doing all its guests .
CHAPTER XXX
In Chapter 30, Don Abbondio, Agnese and Perpetua are at the Unnamed. It seems that everything bothers and frightens Don Abbondio. The reception at the Unnamed is how women are expected, and this reassures the guests, saying that even if they had to attack the mercenaries, they were ready to fight and then they would be safe. Agnese and Perpetua agree to help in the castle not to be too much weight to the 'Unnamed. Don Abbondio has these needs and pacing nervously from room to room throughout the day. The 'Nameless wants to get in touch with the curate, who, being a man of the Church, considered almost equal. Don Abbondio try in every way to avoid any dialogue with the Unnamed, which has a neutral and terror that you do not fully trust. After a few days by the passage of mercenaries, the three leave the castle of the last, after all the other guests of these, because Don Abbondio wanted to be sure not to find mercenaries on the streets. The tailor's house was not damaged because was out of the itinerary. Their hand was ransacked and also the treasure that Perpetua had hidden in the garden has been stolen. Don Abbondio why the prosecution had not beaten the earth well buried after Perpetua and then gets angry and he points out that, besides not being helpful in any way was indeed out of trouble. People have also stolen tablecloths and other valuable things Don Abbondio, And he who is afraid of everything and everyone, not even dream of going to take them back, and for that Perpetua's from 'the coward. Manzoni writes a few pages calm the fever in which he describes the death, famine, despair of these people, describing various incidents. During this period, for various reasons, there is no appropriate treatment for fever. Tadino and Ripamonti are two historians who are interested in the problem of fever, more like trying to find out who had taken her. The husband of Donna Prassede, Don Ferrante, believes that since the plague can not be seen and not be touched, does not exist. He died of the plague. The government tries to silence the disease and its effects.
CHAPTER XXXI
Manzoni Chapter 31 shows the behavior of a frightened population. The fever usually does in a few hours, sometimes more, but in a short time, leading rapidly to death of those infected. In a few cases it heals and then one is immune. The plague causes degeneration lymph glands in buboes (hence the name bubonic plague). Meetings are held to 'open to pray God that does away with this terrible disease, which, instead of halting the spread of this disease, accelerates, because the healthy people being in contact with the sick, was infected easily. The people even begin to think that someone who knowingly spreads the disease, the plague spreaders. In reality, the spreaders do not exist, but there have been cases where people, driven by despair, he decided to kill anyone suspected of having deliberately spread the plague. One example is the old man was killed because in the Cathedral, before sitting down, he brushed the dirty bench with his hat, and had been accused of spreading the illness star.
CHAPTER XXXII
As the situation becomes increasingly serious, the Council calls for subsidies for settlers to the governor and asked the cardinal archbishop who make a solemn procession. The Cardinal would not want to, when it would be an opportunity for crime in the spreaders and expansion of the infection, but then relents. The large and solemn procession takes place on the main streets of the city: we have all the people that still stand. But the day after the mortality increases to such an extent that everyone realizes that the procession was a mistake. In the end, two thirds will die of plague population, about three thousand people a day. Children, women and old were the most exposed to the epidemic. In the hospital, which is no longer enough, is a bustle of patients who are made to flow and deaths that start with the mass graves. The city is crossed by wagons driven by Monatti, responsible for the collection of patients: these are people who had the plague and it is immunized. The surviving population lives in the state of mind of who it is constantly threatened by a mysterious and devious and powerful enemy. They all live in fear everywhere we think we see the spreaders. However, there is someone who thinks and should not be prudently silent. Among the judges reign of loss and confusion. I suspect you magnify and multiply.
CHAPTER XXXIII
One night, toward the end of August, right in the dead of the plague, Don Rodrigo, returning home from a party with three of his friends and the Griso starts to feel a strange uneasiness. I arrived home, he goes to bed and try to sleep, but the discomfort grows until he discovers a boil. Asks for help because the Griso call a surgeon who takes money for the sick hidden: the Griso calls instead Monatti that led him to hospital. But before the master died of the plague even the Griso. Renzo also fell ill with fever, but recovering, he decided to go looking for Lucy. No one in utter confusion, will care for him and his face justice. Greeted his cousin Bortolo, cross the Adda and looks to his country. Reign everywhere the signs of death, abandonment, suffering. Towards evening comes to his country and for the first meet Tony, half naked and dazed by the plague. Renzo talks to him in vain, but Toni does not recognize it. Meet Don Abbondio after he lost Perpetua: it is poorly made but is concerned about the presence of Renzo source of trouble for him. Renzo learns that Agnes is Pasturo. For the night shelter in a friend's house. The next day he decided to go to Milan in search of Lucy.
CHAPTER XXXIV
Renzo can enter Milan, just a coin for the rapid approval of the guard. Entering the city sees everywhere the signs of the disease and the terrible desolation. . Renzo's attention is then drawn from the invocation of a woman arrested at home with her children because her husband died of plague. The woman was in danger of starvation. Renzo gives her a little bread available and will be responsible to warn someone. In fact, shortly after he met a priest, which relies on the woman and asks him about where he lives Prassede woman. But as it flows through the neighborhoods of the city, from the peripheral to those of the center, Renzo encounters horrific scenes of suffering and death. Wagons were driven by Monatti for the collection of sick or dead bodies. Assists episode of the mother of Cecilia, a girl died of plague. Can then finally find the house of Don Ferrante, but here he learns that Lucia is the hospital, the hospital of the plague. Mistaken for a infector, can hardly escape a group of people furious, jumping on a bandwagon Monatti. Renzo can not wait to leave that company and ugly, just the way he likes to acknowledge, to Gate East, down from the wagon. The military hospital not far away. Renzo enters and stops in the middle of the porch a moment to contemplate the sea of \u200b\u200bpain.
CHAPTER XXXV
Renzo enters the military hospital: a collection of huts and buildings hairpieces, stand up for the occasion, along with other masonry. The place is horrible, and the horror is intensified humid air and the leaden sky. It is, in fact, a storm approaching. Renzo realizes that he entered the men's department. The general view is that which arises from a place that is a condensed, a container of which bears great suffering on the air and the sky hazy. The first group of patients, placed apart, inside a fence, is that of children reared by cows and goats, some are babies and need constant care and attention. Many women cured of the plague shall be responsible for supervision of children, but also goats, as if aware of the great suffering, meek offering their milk to children. Everything moved Renzo starts walking. And here's sudden appearance: his father Christopher. The father having been for years in Rimini, for higher pressure on has got to be recalled to Milan and be used to serve the sick. Renzo's is a brief summary of his adventures and tells of being in the military hospital in search of Lucy. Could it be, if he is still alive in the compound assigned to women: it is forbidden to enter. But the father the dates authorizing the good intentions that animate it. Renzo says he is ready to take revenge on Don Rodrigo, who is the source of all his misfortunes and Lucia. At this point, his father scolded him Christopher and the law of revenge contrasts with the Christian law of forgiveness and charity. He, who has experienced the murder of a man, you know what is the dry path of revenge and how humanity away from God and therefore the search for justice requires death for death. True justice is a charity which compensates for the death of a man with the ideal growth of new humanity. Renzo believes are willing to forgive his opponent. And the brother takes him to a hut where she shows him dying Don Rodrigo Urged by his father, Renzo china face and prays to God for his persecutors. Purified by this act of forgiveness, Renzo can now return to seek his Lucia.

At the center, as a reference point and convergence, the chapel central plan, with a porch running around without sight of the altar from anywhere you may turn toward it. Meanwhile, the precession of healed or healing begins to start to gather around, led by his father Felix, who turns to the sick and convalescent, and greets them before they return to their homes, the usual occupations. After the procession, Renzo starts in the wards reserved for women, started to despair when it seems, placing himself next to a hut in a unique voice will be heard, that of Lucy. The renewed and generous with his usual impetuosity wants things back to normal. The vote, which still Lucia insists on respect, he seems to be the result of a troubled mind, then something incoherent. Against the steadfast opposition of Lucia, no one can dissolve the difficulties, except his father Christopher, called, hear the whole story by Lucia's vote, he realizes that this is a noble gesture but flawed source: was without taking into account the fact that she had promised. Father Christopher tells Lucy that if she allows it, may be dissolved by the vote. So father Christopher says the formula for winding up, and together gives them both a warning and advice: they can return as betrothed to the thoughts of the past, but remember that life must be spent in pursuit of the good and the suffering must arrange gaiety to collection and quiet. So farewell to the monk, now in the face with the signs of impending death. Lucia is to assist the merchant in the hut that was attached. Renzo decides to leave immediately and go in search of Agnes. The first time it was muggy and foggy is traversed by the sound of thunder, now seems to want to precipitate in the form of a storm.
