What reading level is Lords And Ladies of the Italian Lakes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Throughout all the " Verdant Land " of Bri- anza, and from beyond the Lake of Lecco, year by year, thousands of pilgrims wend their way to LECCO 193 San Pietro, singing ancient litanies. Perhaps the first of these, and greatly distinguished for her virtues, was the Empress Ermingarda, consort of Charlemagne and sister of Prince Adelicco ; her effigy is to be seen in a bas-relief behind the altar. In the eleventh century another famous personage climbed the Sacred Way, — Arnolfo de' Capitani, Ar...chbishop of Milan. Tired of a world of faction and a hierarchy of greed the holy man sought the green solitude of Civate for fast and prayer. He it was who stilled the fierce strifes of Guelphs and Ghibellines and gave peace to embittered partisans. He died upon his wooden bedstead before the altar of the chapel. Two other saintly men among many more found solace in the little cloister, Liprando da Compito and Leone da Parego ; the former a confessor, for the Christian faith bereft of ears and nose and hands — mutilations of the heretical Nicolaitans ; the latter, the warlike Archbishop of Milan, who strove to stem the usurpation of the Torriani, but in vain, for he died a fugitive.
