Description
Love letters of Andrea Memmo to a beautiful half-English girl named Giustiniana Wynne were found in an attic. Some of the letters were written in code, which di Robilant and his father cracked to reveal an illicit passion: Giustiniana was not of the elite ruling class and would never have been considered a suitable match for Andrea. But their acts of devotion were startlingly brazen.
