"Orlando Furioso" tells the story of the knight Orlando and his quest to win the love of Angelica.

Ariost's work has had a lasting impact on literature, inspiring countless adaptations and interpretations over the centuries. His innovative use of language and narrative structure continues to captivate readers today. Despite facing criticism from some contemporary scholars for his irreverent approach to traditional themes, Ariost remains one of Italy's most celebrated literary figures.
