Only slight abrasions at the head, else about fine. The notable bibliographer Bartolommeo Gamba curated this collection of poems by his neighbor in the town of Bassano del Grappa, Giuseppe Bombardini. Bombardini's day job was in local government, rising finally to the rank of "podestà," the equivalent of the mayoralty. Among the poems written to commemorate weddings and funerals, we find Romantic sonnets dedicated to the summer night, to the Brenta, to two roses, to the month of May.
