Founded in 1863 when the kingdom of Italy was but two years old, as were its first newspaper stands (situated behind the Dome and on the square of the Scale), publications such as this were launched to help bring culture and literature to the masses. Sonzogno, along with Treves, were the greatest and most successful publishers-printers-editors of the day in this optimistic new kingdom. Includes entries from 'Il Marchese di Villemer' (by Georgio Sand), 'I Cacciatori di Capigliature' (by Captain Mayne-Reid), 'La Macchia di Sangue' (by Manuel Fernandez Y Gonzalez), 'Giovanni delle Bande Nere' (by Luigi Capranica), 'Piquillo Alliaga' (by Eugenio Scribe), and 'La Pena del Taglione' (by Carlo De Bernard).
