Il trionfo della morte (Triumph of Death) is a novel by Gabriele d'Annunzio. It belongs to the cycle "The novels of the Rose". The story is set in the Abruzzo region, the birthplace of the author. The noble aesthete Giorgio Aurispa, besotted with his unhappily-married lover Ippolita, leaves Rome after witnessing a suicide. After a brief interlude with Ippolita in Albano, Giorgio receives a telegram from his mother, who lives in the small mountain village of Guardiagrele.
