“It was still dark, the wet and cold darkness of early December, when the coach left the stables and, going slowly up the path, stopped in front of the large staircase.
The coachman pulled on the reins, He rebuked he horses for their impatient neighs and he got ready for the wait. He knew it might be long.
The facade of the country house was plunged into darkness, only one window was lighted on the first floor (the main) and light filtered through the curtains, dull and intermittent.
For the whole night like a sleepless eye, that window had been kept lighted.”
“Angela Nanetti gives us a brilliant and exemplary biography of this complex and unconventional personage.”
Walter Fochesato – “Andersen Magazine” – November 2002
And you read the biography of “Cristina Belgioioso, an Italian princess”: like a marvellous but also real adventure: it is the extraordinary life of a “pasionaria” of our Risorgimento.
