Criticism
Aldo Grasso pointed out that the series seems to "repeat Elisa di Rivombrosa", and called it "an exemplary feuilleton ', as with the four characteristics that have made the literature of the nineteenth century appendix:
- the oleography, that is a setting that the viewer feels to belong to the past;
- clichés, such as good versus evil, which is personified in the various characters;
- the redemption, or the final victory of good over evil, despite all the difficulties;
- the agnition, that the revelations and twists on the identity of the characters.
