This work provides a detailed examination of Venetian coinage, written by Nicolò Papadopoli Aldobrandini. It is a specialized historical text that focuses on numismatics and the technical description of medieval and modern coins. For a learner of Italian, this book presents a significant challenge. The vocabulary is highly technical and academic, focusing on historical terminology and paleography. The sentences are structured to convey precise information, often involving complex lists and descriptions of symbols, which requires a patient and analytical approach to reading.

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 11 h 11 min at a native pace, spread over 223 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
