Rosanna Micelotta Battigelli

Reviewing this for Italian Americana, so I'll refrain from a star rating. I'm calling it a historical swashbuckler, although I can't confirm this as a recognized genre in literature. A fun read, although I was disappointed that romantic scenes were entirely virtuous and "pure," while the lecherous villains got to actually get naked. Uniquely set in Calabria during Garibaldi's campaign to support King Victor Emmanuel II's unification of Italy, a richly detailed world.
