Rienzi

Rienzi is a dramatic masterpiece about Cola di Rienzi, a Roman citizen who rises to power and becomes the popular leader of Rome, only to be betrayed by allies and enemies alike. Mitford's portrayal of Rienzi is a stirring defense of Republicanism and liberty, and remains a powerful and relevant political statement to this day.
