About the book

The Castle of Fratta is closely associated with Ippolito Nievo's great historical novel Confessions of an Italian, which recounts the life of Carlo Altoviti against the changing political landscape of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Italy. Beginning with childhood at the Castle of Fratta, the narrative moves through revolution, war and the struggle for Italian independence. Personal relationships and family loyalties unfold alongside major historical events, creating a broad portrait of a society undergoing profound political and social transformation.
