While leafing through an Italian local newspaper from the late nineteenth century, in search of period advertisements for a project, I stumbled upon a section of personal ads labeled “MISCELLANEOUS.”
Grazie! I stumbled upon the personal ads published in the June 1st 1899 issue, and got completely drawn in… I couldn’t stop reading, number after number. Slowly entire stories began to emerge, like little soap operas. I’ll try to tell a few of them. I had never really thought about how hard it must have been to meet a secret lover without text messages!
I'm intrigued!
