El galante aventurero

Catalog Description This Spanish-language serialized adventure opens "La Sombra de Tiberio" (The Shadow of Tiberius), authored by Arnaldo Visconti. Set in sixteenth-century Capri, the narrative centers on Matteo Trozzi, a cruel despot ruling the island as Grand Duke alongside his three brutal sons—Falco, Umbrio, and Trentino. Their tyranny contrasts sharply with his gentler daughters, Iolanda and Isolda, who prefer flowers and music to violence. The plot accelerates when Ferenc Mijail, a notorious Bohemian bandit from Hungary, arrives in Capri with threats of vengeance. Having marked his victims in other cities with a distinctive double-cross symbol, Mijail leaves a threatening message and a golden coin bearing his mark in Matteo's chamber, escalating the family's terror. Meanwhile, the pure-hearted Isolda encounters a mysterious stranger at the Temple of San Michele—a man with burning eyes who deposits one of Mijail's notorious coins during her charitable collection, hinting at supernatural or conspiratorial danger surrounding this enigmatic figure.
