A central episode in Tomasi di Lampedusa's Il Gattopardo describes how the lovers Tancredi and Angelica explore the neglected parts of the family palace of Donnafugata. This study suggests an intertext for Lampedusa's text in Gabriele D'Annunzio's Forse the si forse che no, where the protagonists have a similar erotic encounter during a visit to the Palazzo Ducale in Mantua. The likelihood of a deliberate allusion by Lampedusa adds D'Annunzio to the long list of authors on whom he drew in Il Gattopardo, providing further evidence of his distinctive modus incorporandi as he weaves the threads of D'Annunzio's novel into a new tapestry.
