The Italian Convert: A Narrative, Founded On Fact is a novel written by Francis Westley in 1821. The book tells the story of a young Italian woman named Rosalia, who converts from Catholicism to Protestantism. The novel is based on true events and is set in the early 18th century in Italy. Rosalia is a devout Catholic who lives in a small village in Italy. She is engaged to a young man named Giovanni, who is also Catholic. However, Rosalia begins to question her faith after meeting a group of Protestant missionaries who are preaching in her village. She is fascinated by their teachings and begins to attend their services secretly. As Rosalia becomes more involved with the Protestant community, she realizes that she can no longer continue her engagement with Giovanni. She breaks off the engagement and becomes fully committed to her new faith. However, her conversion is met with resistance from her family and the Catholic Church. The novel explores the themes of religious intolerance and the struggle for personal freedom. It also provides a historical perspective on the religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Italy during the 18th century. Overall, The Italian Convert: A Narrative, Founded On Fact is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers insight into the complexities of religious identity and the power of personal conviction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
