What reading level is Italian Influences book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Duke showed her marked attention and con- stantly gave her presents; the Duchess could not live without her, as she was the sole consolation in her bad health.
There was a very amusing correspondence be- tween Adriana and the Cardinal Gonzaga, with a curious mixture of thanks for presents and requests for a bit of the true cross from Cardinal Borghese; instead of which, the Cardinal being ill, she only received medals and rosaries. She expressed her 159 MILTON'S LEONORA gratitude for two lo...ve-songs and remarks on the manner of singing them; and, in acknowledging the medals, asked for "some ballad or gay little song," and wished him the Papacy. The Cardinal made a short visit to Mantua, where he enjoyed her society, and the next winter wanted to take her to Naples with him. This was, of course, impossible, as she had much to do at court, in addition to the regular Friday concerts, where she sang madrigals composed for her by the Cardinal, as well as songs sent expressly to her from Savona by Chiabrera, who was in receipt of a pension from the Duke, and who recommended that " they should be sung in a noble audience suited to such a great singer." During a temporary absence of Adriana in Milan, where she was greatly tempted to remain, the poor Duchess of Mantua, Eleanora de' Medici, died, and the Duke, though himself far from well, immedi- ately set about looking for a new wife, and even thought of remarrying his first wife, a Princess of Parma, whom he had divorced and sent into a con- vent.
