"Attila, a Romance of Old Aquileia" is a sweeping historical novel set against the backdrop of the 5th-century decline of the Roman Empire. The story captures the dramatic and turbulent era when Attila the Hun, known as the Scourge of God, led his nomadic forces into the heart of Italy. At the center of the narrative is the legendary city of Aquileia, a crucial Roman stronghold facing imminent destruction during the Hunnish invasion.
Paolo Ettore Santangelo weaves a tale of passion and conflict, exploring the collision between the fading grandeur of Roman civilization and the raw power of the invading tribes. Through vivid characterizations and a focus on the romantic tensions of the era, the work portrays the human cost of war and the enduring spirit of those caught in the path of history's most feared conquerors. As a work of historical fiction, it offers a compelling glimpse into the legends surrounding Attila and the tragic fate of one of the ancient world's most significant cities.
