Bologna [but Lugano?]: n.p., 1831. Original edition. Good. Octavo (16cm); viii, 238 pages. Bound in contemporary quarter calf over paper-covered boards decorated in a sort of blood cell pattern. Black leather title label. Scuffed and worn, joints tender. Title page and several succeeding leaves lightly foxed, with some stains along fore-edge. Scarce in North American libraries. Anthology of revolutionary poetry published to feed the fever of of the growing independence movement in Italy. The drive to overthrow the Austrian and French control of Italy broke into violence in several Italian cities in 1830 and 1831. Bologna, together with a few surrounding cities, actually declared independence, and existed as a self-governing entity (The United Provinces) for several months before being overcome by a fresh assault of the Austrian military.

Description:
Florence: Le Monnier, 1861. Second edition, corrected and expanded.. Good +. 16 cm; 61, [3] pages. In later marbled boards in conventional style. Boards good plus; text trimmed close at fore-edge, not affecting text. In a tradition with deep roots in Mediterranean culture, and more recently in the successful careers of performing poets of the turn of the century, Giannina Milli took to the stage reciting improvised poetry to audience suggestions. The principal themes of her inspiration were patriotism, revolution against occupying powers, and the unification of Italy. She was deeply involved in the intellectual life of the nation, as shown by her thousands of surviving letters (at the National Library of Florence) and photographs.
