BELGIOJOSO, Cristina TRIVULZIO, princess (Milan, 1808-1871), - Lot 87
BELGIOJOSO, Cristina TRIVULZIO, princess (Milan, 1808-1871), woman of letters, journalist, Italian patriot, she actively participated in the movement that led to the Italian unity "Le Risorgimento", autograph letter signed, 4 pages small in-12, addressed to a count. "The death of Mr. Aimé Martin leaves a vacancy in the Library of Ste Geneviève. If you have not already given or promised it, allow me to suggest a good and wise action to be taken, a happy choice which will be a new proof of the impartiality of your judgment and the high independence of your noble character. Appoint a man who has no protections or recommendations except those of his talent, Mr. De Laprade. Go and search the depths of his garret"... Etc. The undated letter must have been written shortly after the death of Aimé Martin (1782-1847), a French litterateur. We do not think that De Laprade is the literary and political member of the French Academy in 1847: Victor de Laprade (1812-1883)... Rare document.
