Excerpt from The Cenci: A Tragedy, in Five Acts Preface. A Manuscript was communicated to me during my travels in Italy, which was copied from the archives of the Cenci Palace at Rome, and contains a detailed account of the horrors which ended in the extinction of one of the no blest and richest families of that city during the Pontificate of Clement VIII., in the year 1599. The story is that an old man, having Spent his life in debauchery. And wickedness, conceived at length an implacable hatred towards his chil dren; which showed itself towards one daughter under the form of an incestuous passion, aggravated by every circum stance of cruelty and violence. This daughter, after long and vain attempts to escape from what she considered a perpet ual contamination both of body and mind, at length plotted with her mother-in-law and brother to murder their com mon tyrant. The young maiden who was urged to this tre mendons deed by an impulse which overpowered its horror was evidently a most gentle and amiable being, a creature formedto adorn and be admired, and thus violently thwarted from her nature by the necessity of circumstance and opin ion. The deed was quickly discovered, and, in spite of the most earnest prayers made to the Pope by the highest per sons in Rome, the criminals were put to death. The old man had during his life repeatedly bought his pardon from the Pope for capital crimes of the most enormous and unspeak able kind, at the price of a hundred thousand crowns; the death therefore of his victims can scarcely be accounted for by the love of justice. The Pope, among other motives for severity, probably felt that whoever killed the Count Cenci deprived his treasury of a certain and copious source of rev enue. Such a story, if told so as to present to the reader all the feelings of those who once acted it, their hopes and fears, their confidences and misgivings, their various interests, pas sions and Opinions, acting upon and with each other, yet all conspiring to one tremendous end, would be as a light to make apparent some of the most dark and secret caverns of the human heart. (1 On my arrival at Rome I found that the story of the Cenci was a subject not to be mentioned in Italian society without awakening a deep and breathless interest.

Beatrice Cenci was the son of Francesco Cenci, an aristocrat who, due to his violent temper and immoral behaviour, had found himself in trouble with the papal justice more than once. In Rome, they lived in a mid 16th century mansion in Regola district, built over the ruins of a previous medieval fortified palace. Together with them lived also Beatrice's elder brother Giacomo, Francesco's second wife Lucrezia Petroni, and Bernardo, the young boy born from the man's second marriage. Among their other possessions was a castle in Petrella Salto, a small village near Rieti, north of Rome. Even at home Francesco Cenci behaved as a brute. He abused his wife and his sons, and had reached the point of committing incest with Beatrice. He had been jailed for other crimes, but thanks to the leniency which the nobles were treated with, he had been freed too soon. The girl had tried to inform the authorities about the frequent mistreatments, but nothing had happened, although everybody in Rome knew what kind of person Francesco Cenci was. When he found out that his daughter had reported against him, he sent Beatrice and Lucrezia away from Rome, to live in the family's country castle. Exasperated, the four Cenci had no better choice than to try and get rid of Francesco, and all together they organized a plot
