Zofia e Livio Odescalchi alla luce di due fonti epistolari

The princely Odescalchi family was at the center of political and social events of 1847–1848 in Rome, in the midst of the revolutionary convulsions that shook the whole of Europe. Such events are mirrored in the correspondence of Zygmunt Krasiński and the Odescalchi-Branicka couple. Zofia and Livio come across as active figure, deeply involved in the action both on the political level and in the personal emotional sphere. Together with their correspondence, Krasiński’s letters represent a complex canvas of facts and imagination, emotions and events on the ground, depicting many of the most important figures and developments of those times.
