This historical work by Lodovico Antonio Muratori, edited by Gian Francesco Galeani Napione, provides a detailed account of Italian history. Written in the eighteenth century, the text features formal, academic Italian that reflects the scholarly style of its era. You will encounter complex sentence structures and a vocabulary rooted in classical and historical discourse. It is a demanding read that requires patience, as the prose is dense and relies on long, articulated periods to convey its extensive historical narrative.

Questions about this book
What level of Italian do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 31 h 25 min at a native pace, spread over 343 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
