"I sogni dell'Anarchico" by Ugo Mioni is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story explores the lives of two contrasting characters—an older, authoritative man and a passionate, younger anarchist—who engage in intense dialogue about life, philosophy, and rebellion against societal norms. Themes of existentialism and the struggle for freedom from religious and governmental oppression are evident from their discussions. The opening of the novel introduces these two characters as they sit in an elegantly furnished room, sipping wine and smoking. The older man expresses a cold, calculated perspective on life, suggesting that the human soul is shackled by various ties, while the younger man fervently defends his ideals of personal freedom and his conviction in anarchism. Their conversation reveals the younger man's anger towards societal constructs, particularly religion, which he believes confines both body and spirit. As the discussion escalates, it becomes clear that the younger man is preparing for a violent act as an expression of his beliefs, setting the stage for the conflict and drama to unfold as he grapples with the implications of his actions in the name of freedom.
