Vittoria

Morning cleared Monte Motterone above the mist while you climbed with four patriots toward a meeting at the summit. The Austrian steamer stains the lake below, yet heaven declines to protest against bad composition. You step into this one-chapter preview with Vittoria at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Every man had spoken for Italy; now the only woman present opened her mouth to tell them what she intended to do. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
