Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters From Florence, Italy, in 1866 The following letters, by Mrs. Harriette Matteini, are published for the sake of her grandchildren, that they may possess something from her gifted pen. They were written at a time of great political excitement in Italy, when Victor Emmanuel II. though King of Italy, did not reign over the whole of his kingdom. Venice and Rome were still lacking to his crown. Cavour, the distinguished statesman, had passed away, and Garibaldi, with his red-shirted followers, was still fighting the battles of the nation. This introduction, compiled from different authors, is given in order to throw some light upon the very interesting period in which these letters were written. Mrs. Matteini, long a resident among the people she loved and admired, recognizing their faults, appreciating their virtues, heartily sympathized with them during their long and weary struggle for national union and liberty. To understand the Italy of that period, we must glance back, and trace the causes, which in 1866, led to the events described in the following pages.
