1289: Contrasti e alleanze politiche tra i signori di Ravenna e i signori di Rimini sono dietro una delle più tragiche storie damore conosciute, resa immortale dai celebri versi di Dante e da varie opere successive. Paolo Malatesta e Francesca da Polenta sono
veramente esistiti, furono davvero amanti (lei era la moglie di Gianciotto, fratello di Paolo) nel castello di Gradara, colti in flagrante e uccisi dal marito tradito di Francesca. Ma non erano entrambi né innocenti né giovani, almeno per gli standard dellepoca: lei aveva 29 anni ed era sposata da 14, lui aveva 43 anni, una moglie e dei figli. Nonostante lefferatezza del delitto, gli equilibri politici dellepoca fecero sì che lalleanza tra Ravenna e Rimini non subisse scossoni e la stessa vicenda non ebbe nessun strascico giudiziario. Anzi, poco dopo le due famiglie celebreranno un nuovo matrimonio dinteresse
Durata: 40 circa

1289: Conflicts and political alliances between the Lords of Ravenna and Rimini are behind one of the most tragic love stories ever recounted, immortalized in Dantes poetry and many other works of art. Paolo Malatesta and Francesca da Polenta really existed, were indeed lovers (she was Paolos brother Gianciottos- known as Crippled Johns- wife) and, being caught red handed inside the Castle of Gradara were murdered by Francescas betrayed husband. But neither of them was innocent nor young considering the standards of the time: she was 29 and had been married for 14 years and he was 43 with a wife and children. Notwithstanding the brutality of the murder, the political balance of that era had to guarantee the alliance between the house of Ravenna and Rimini therefore the event was conveniently swept under the carpet. And so, a short time after the incident, the two families celebrated another arranged wedding with financial interests at its heart
