Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book dissects the complex and often absurd accounts given by English and foreign travel writers about eighteenth-century Italy. The author, an Italian with a deep knowledge of their language and customs, meticulously dismantles these accounts, exposing the ill-informed opinions and outright falsehoods perpetuated by these outside observers. The author explores the truth behind the seemingly scandalous behavior of the married women of Italy, where strict religious adherence and the imposition of rigid social expectations frequently led to transgressive behavior. This book also examines the phenomenon known as cicisbeismo, an arrangement whereby married women are publicly escorted and courted by men other than their husbands�"a practice often misunderstood and condemned by outsiders. Through an analysis of Italian literature and culture, the author demonstrates that this arrangement was a reflection of their unique and sophisticated approach to love and relationships. By digging beneath the surface of superficial observations, this book offers a nuanced understanding of Italian customs and culture, challenging preconceived notions and shedding light on its true nature and complexities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9780282624804_0
