Chapter Two— Discovering the World: Rome and High School (1917–1922): Scent of Florentine Wisteria

1. The translation is from Ernesto Grillo, ed. and trans., I sepolcri in Italian and English (London and Glasgow: Blackie and Son, 1928).

2. For Enzo Sereni, see R. Bondy, The Emissary: A Life of Enzo Sereni (Boston: Little, Brown, 1977), as well as D. V. Segre, Memories of a Fortunate Jew (Bethesda, Md.: Adler & Adler, 1987); the latter author's impressions are not too different from mine. Enzo's brother Emilio became a prominent member of the Italian Communist Party; see Enciclopedia europea, s.v. "Sereni, Emilio" (Milan: Garzanti, 1980).
