Pauli Ambrosio 1910

Trama: Un articolo su La Gazzetta di Bologna del 23 gennaio 1840 dava la notizia dell'improvvisa scomparsa di Pauli, un noto cospiratore, carbonaro e patriota corso, evaso dalla fortezza delle Tre Torri in cui era imprigionato, ferito e non più rintracciato. Il 27 giugno lo stesso giornale spiegava l'accaduto.
La sera del 23 maggio il fuggiasco aveva trovato rifugio nel palazzo del duca di Cesena, dove si stava svolgendo una festa in maschera, ed era stato accolto e curato segretamente: appena ristabilito sarebbe stato aiutato a espatriare in Dalmazia o in Grecia. Ma una sera il Duca scorgeva Pauli mentre baciava di nascosto la Duchessa: non aveva detto niente; ma si era recato subito to the police station to report the presence of the fugitive in his home. The next day, while the Dukes were leaving for a ride, had appeared from the woods a squad of gendarmes came to arrest Pauli. The Duchess, including the betrayal of her husband, after hitting him with his whip, ran home to alert Pauli, but too late, the garden was now surrounded. The woman was hit while he was protecting her lover by a shot of the cops, while Paul is shot in the head and the two hugged each die.
