Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wartime Letters From Italy Yesterday I said to the Italian steward who serves our table, "Gaetano, do you think we shall find war in Italy?" Gaetano has youth and strength, qualities beloved of kings and generals, so Gaetano´s mind dwells much upon the possibility of war. Then, too, in Napoli is Bianca Fortunelli, who will go with him to the priest at San Stefano´s in June - if! Assuredly Gaetano was the one to know if war was "in the air." To-day proved him a prophet. At my question yesterday his manner became grave, like that of an old man who has thought much, and there was no lilt of adventure in his voice as in a mixture of English and Italian, he replied: "Signore, I feel that my beautiful country is entering into much sadness; I feel that the sons and fathers in Italia will die, because in two thousand years mankind has not learned to be contented with prosperity and peace.
