"Cosi' come l'aura eroica del mattino aveva fatto appello a quanto c'era di piu' alto, il senso della dissoluzione rafforzava ora gl'istinti mento controllati dell'uomo." [Could this be some sort of reference to heaven? I'm confused!]

what was most noble
something like that. The morning aura is the 'wind of change' in that aura is wind and the morning a dawning of something new. While that change comes about people are enthusiastic and sincere. This is followed by corruption. A bit like revolutions when the sans culottes and bolsheviks are followed by the Napoleons and Stalins.

Or when the protagonist had some nobler goal in view.
Doesn't sound too much like he's shooting for God and the Heavens, but there's a word or two I'm vague about.

how much more was there up above
It sounds to me that it is refering to heaven, but maybe we need more info.

the noblest instincts ...
there is a parallelism between
- dawn, light, goodness
and
- sunset, darkness, evil
I read dissoluzione as both the end of the day and the end of good propositions (I hope this is the right word)
I would say - the noblest instincts/ feelings/ intentions/ propositions which break up when the sun goes down
- dawn, light, goodness
and
- sunset, darkness, evil
