La Splendeur des Crespi

The geographical border seems to mirror the emotional and cultural divides between characters. Did the setting serve as a metaphor for their inner conflicts?

Understanding the historical context can deepen appreciation for the characters' struggles and choices. I wonder what drew Alessandra Selmi to this era.

The story beautifully intertwines personal and cultural identities, making me question whether love here is also about bridging divides.
