The Castle of Otranto tells the story of Manfred, lord of the castle, and his family. The book begins on the wedding-day of his sickly son Conrad and princess Isabella. Shortly before the wedding, however, Conrad is crushed to death by a gigantic helmet that falls on him from above. This inexplicable event is particularly ominous in light of an ancient prophecy, "that the castle and lordship of Otranto should pass from the present family, whenever the real owner should be grown too large to inhabit it". Manfred, terrified that Conrad's death signals the beginning of the end for his line, resolves to avert destruction by marrying Isabella himself while divorcing his current wife Hippolita, who he feels has failed to bear him a proper heir. La signoria di Otranto era legata a una profezia: «Il castello e la signoria d'Otranto sarebbero venuti a mancare all'attuale famiglia, quando l'autentico possessore fosse diventato troppo grande per abitarvi». Manfredi, principe d'Otranto, ha due figli: Matilda e Corrado, il suo prediletto. Egli dovrebbe sposare Isabella, la figlia del marchese di Vicenza. Proprio il giorno delle nozze, però, Corrado viene schiacciato da un enorme elmo identico a quello della statua di Alfonso, un precedente principe della signoria d'Otranto.

The Castle of Otranto is generally regarded as the first gothic novel. It tells the story of Manfred, lord of the castle, and his family. On the wedding-day of his sickly son Conrad and princess Isabella, Conrad is crushed to death by a gigantic helmet that falls on him from above. This inexplicable event is particularly ominous in light of an ancient prophecy. Manfred, terrified that Conrad's death signals the beginning of the end for his line, resolves to avert destruction by marrying Isabella himself while divorcing his current wife Hippolita, whom he feels has failed to bear him a proper heir. The novel merged medievalism and terror in a style that has endured ever since. The aesthetics of the book shaped modern-day gothic books, films, art, music and the Goth subculture.

"Il castello e la signoria d'Otranto verranno a mancare all'attuale famiglia, quando l'autentico possessore diventerà troppo grande per abitarvi". Una profezia incombe su Manfredi, signore d’Otranto, ma la sua attenzione è rivolta altrove. Intende sposarsi con Isabella, una nobile fanciulla che cerca di scappare da questo matrimonio forzato con tutte le sue forze. Ed è così che in suo aiuto accorrerà la profezia: come Manfredi presto scoprirà, sottrarsi al proprio destino è difficile anche per i signori di un castello. Tra eventi soprannaturali, fantasmi millenari, intrighi di castello e giochi di potere, "Il Castello di Otranto" — considerato il primo romanzo gotico della storia — è una lettura obbligatoria per ogni amante del genere. Horace Walpole (1717-1797) è stato uno scrittore inglese. Autore molto prolifico, in vita riscosse un buon successo editoriale grazie anche al suo fortunato epistolario. "Il castello di Otranto", la sua opera forse più famosa, è considerato il primo romanzo gotico della storia.

The Castle of Otranto is a 1764 novel by Horace Walpole. It is generally regarded as the first gothic novel, initiating a literary genre which would become extremely popular in the later 18th century and early 19th century. Thus, Walpole, by extension, is arguably the forerunner to such authors as Charles Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe and Daphne du Maurier.
