I am really enjoying this book - thank you so much for recording it! I am married to an Italian and live in Italy and am always trying to understand the history of my beloved adopted country. These clear and interesting biographies are very interesting, and I really appreciate how they spin around the hub of the Unification. Highly recommended.
