This historical account explores the political turbulence of fourteenth century Florence. Written in the nineteenth century, the language is formal and dense, reflecting the complex administrative and factional struggles of the era. You will encounter specialized vocabulary related to medieval governance and legal proceedings. The sentences are long and structured with intricate clauses, which may challenge your reading comprehension. This text is suitable for those interested in Italian history who wish to engage with sophisticated, academic prose from a classical perspective.

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 16 h 48 min at a native pace, spread over 41 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
