Alfio Balzani: Or Extracts From The Diary Of A Proscribed Sicilian is a historical book written by Alfio Balzani in 1861. The book is a personal account of the author's experiences during a time of political unrest in Sicily, Italy. Balzani was a member of the secret society, known as the Carbonari, which aimed to overthrow the Bourbon monarchy in Sicily and establish a republic. However, their plans were discovered, and Balzani was forced to flee from his home and go into hiding. Throughout the book, Balzani shares his thoughts and feelings about the events unfolding around him, as well as his personal struggles and fears. He also provides insight into the political climate of Sicily during this time, including the actions of the Bourbon monarchy and the efforts of the Carbonari to gain support for their cause. Alfio Balzani: Or Extracts From The Diary Of A Proscribed Sicilian is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a lesser-known period of Italian history. The book is written in a personal and engaging style, making it accessible to readers with an interest in history, politics, and personal narratives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
