This historical biography explores the life of the poet Carlo Porta and the social atmosphere of Milan during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The text provides a detailed look at the political shifts, urban life, and cultural changes of the era. For a learner of Italian, this book presents a challenge due to its dense, descriptive style and historical vocabulary. The sentences are often structured as concise, informative fragments, reflecting the biographical nature of the work and its academic tone.

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 7 h 37 min at a native pace, spread over 30 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
