This antique hardback book, "Vita di Roberto Dudley Duca di Nortumbria" by John Temple Leader, is a rare find for any collector interested in Italian literature. The book is a first edition published by G.Barbera in 1896, I believe translated fom English and features beautiful illustrations throughout. With a focus on the life of Robert Dudley, the Duke of Northumberland, this book provides a unique insight into the history of the time. Written entirely in Italian, this original edition is a must-have for any serious collector of antiquarian and collectable books.

The book also had a tracing of a plan for an Italian palace in the Florence region between is pages also inlcuded with the book (photographed)
