Well, I must say that Giovanni and Lusanna was quite an interesting read. Not what I would typically read, however I found that it was a refreshing break from the generalizations that identify most history texts. This "microhistory" was a pleasant surprise in that it allowed me to infer the significance of people's actions instead of the usual broad statements that characterize our other text. Overall, I found that Giovanni was a putz, and that Lusanna deserved a lot more than she got. However, living in modern times and contemporary mores, I must admit that I am biased.
