The Bravo is a novel by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1831 in two volumes. Inspired by a trip to Europe where he traveled through much of Italy, the novel is set in Venice. The Bravo is the first of Cooper’s three novels to be set in Europe. This group of three novels, which one critic would call Cooper’s “European trilogy”, include The Heidenmauer and The Headsman.
