At the name of Rienzi the glow of excitement vanished from his cheek; he started back, muttered to himself, and for a moment seemed, even in the midst of that stirring commotion, to be lost in a moody and distant revery.
Though Adrian was but a boy at the time in which, first presented to the reader, he witnessed the emotions of Rienzi at the death of his brother, his kind heart had been penetrated with sympathy for Cola's affliction, and shame for the apathy of his kinsmen at the result of their own feuds.
Rienzi listened in silence; but the deadly paleness of his countenance, and the writhing of the nether lip, testified the emotions to which he gave no audible vent.

 October 8th
Nicolo Gabrini, commonly called Nicole, or Cola di Rienzi, from an abbreviation of his father's name of Lorenzo, was the son of an innkeeper and washerwoman of Rome, who, however, conscious of the natural abilities of their son, bestowed on him a good education, which the young man improved to the best advantage.
After a night spent in devotional exercises, Rienzi, accompanied by his band of a hundred followers, issued from the church, and marched in a solemn procession to the Capitol, from the balcony of which he harangued the people, and received, in their acclamations, a ratification of his assumption of supreme power.
Yet the advice and arbitration of Rienzi were sought by more than one European sovereign, and, as in the case of Cromwell, the aptitude with which he conformed himself to the dignity and general requirements of his high station, formed the theme of universal wonder and applause.

Cola's régimes were part of a series of fruitless attempts to assert the interests of the Roman citizens against the nobility and the absentee papal government; his ideas, on the other hand, were unique and of lasting interest.
For Cola, antiquity provided political but not aesthetic models; his letters are full-blown examples of medieval rhetoric and the ceremonies at which his programme was unveiled were indelibly medieval.
Lord Lytton's novel Rienzi (1842) was the basis for the libretto of Wagner's first successful opera; Cola has also been the subject of a play by Engels and a short life by Gabriele d'Annunzio.

His face was pale with watching and intense excitement - but stern, grave, and solemnly composed; and its expression so repelled any vociferous and vulgar burst of feeling, that those who beheld it hushed the shout on their lips, and stilled, by a simultaneous cry of reproof, the gratulations of the crowd behind.
Cola di Rienzi has proposed a Code of Law that shall be our shield.
