D'Annunzio (internationally released as D'Annunzio and I and Love Sin) is a 1987 Italian biographical film directed by Sergio Nasca.[1]
Plot summary
The film focuses on
Gabriele d'Annunzio is a renowned poet, coming from the rural region of Abruzzo, from the seaside town of Pescara. He is already famous for his aesthetic poetry, and he's also a journalist in Rome
. There d'Annunzio begins to spend his days in worldly pleasure, living purely in the art world and in high society. He hates democracy, hates mass culture even more, and looks for passion and pleasure in the rich ladies of the court; until he meets Lady Elvira Fraternali Leoni, known affectionately as "Barbara". This love affair arouses in d'Annunzio the inspiration for the writing of his first great novel of Decadentism: Pleasure (Il Piacere).
