Le Confessioni d'un italiano (Confessions of an Italian)

by Ippolito Nievo

These Confessioni are his memoirs and he writes about when he was a child. You can see how people lived in the north of Italy, very poor in these small societies. He wrote a portrait of a young girl called La Pisana, a famous figure in Italian literature because it is such a beautiful portrait of this little girl, and the poor people, the peasants.
