loving the bombello × concetta video! Best that could have been... sigh...
Thank you very much, my dear. This couple has entered my "hall of tragic romances" along with Edith and Thomas from "Crimson Peak" (I really have a soft spot for this kind of plot).
What makes me most indignant is how Concetta, who was offered the proposal by her own COUSIN, Tancredi, to be his LOVER and she is still in love with him! He even had the nerve to ask "how were they?" as soon as Bombello set foot outside... MY SON, YOU ARE MARRIED! LET CONCHETTA BE HAPPY AND MARRY THE ONE WHO REALLY LOVES HER. And Bombello was not just a man who loved her, no... he was the MAN who LOVED her regardless of the Corbera's financial situation not being so good, even though the Corbera family did not approve of their union and wanted him out of there. He waited 2 years to marry her, swallowed his pride and lost her to a man who didn't "want her enough and wouldn't let anyone else want her".
Even though I had read the book and knew that this story would go nowhere, I was disappointed. In the end, Concetta is the Leopard and "reigns" through her brother Francesco, a Puppet Prince, and parades through the family's plantations at sunset as if they still had some power, lost due to the decline of the monarchy and a false speech of freedom and that she had finally built something "hers".
It would have been better if she had become a Nun, that way she would contribute more since she wanted to have a role in society.
Anyway, in my head, Concetta and Bombello meet again years later, get married and have lots of babies🥹💖
