This volume of Cesare Cantù's history provides a detailed account of the political landscape in fourteenth century Italy. It focuses on the rise and fall of powerful ruling families like the Visconti, the Carraresi, and the Scaligeri. For a learner of Italian, this text is quite demanding. The vocabulary is formal and historical, often featuring complex sentence structures typical of nineteenth century academic prose. You will encounter specific terminology related to medieval politics, warfare, and diplomacy throughout the 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 15 h 6 min at a native pace, spread over 16 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
