Buondì.
No refurbished vocabulary exercises today, as we have a new Italian easy reader out (and the club has bills to pay!) 
This one’s called Leonardo in riva all’Adda.
Here’s the blurb that would be on the back cover, if it had one (it’s an e-book!)
“Everyone knows that Leonardo is a genius, and one who’ll turn his hand to just about anything, from diplomacy to organising a royal wedding celebration.
But you know the trouble with geniuses? They’re easily distracted!
If we entrust him with something important – like creating the biggest horse the world has ever seen – we’re going to have to keep a close eye on him…”
Join Leonardo, who’s just arrived at the court of Ludovico il Moro, Duke of Milan, bearing a gift from his patrons in Florence. As yet, he has no idea he’ll be Lombardy for longer than just a brief visit…
Leonardo in riva all’Adda is by Enrico Maso and we at onlineitalianclub.com HQ reckon the level is around B2 (upper-intermediate), so quite challenging.
But don’t let that put you off. There’s a free sample chapter (.pdf) which you can download here or here.
The free sample chapter has a link at the top of chapter 1 to the WHOLE STORY, which is available to listen to free online.
To get the rest of the text, though, you’ll need to buy the full version.
Leonardo in riva all’Adda is 25% off this week at just £5.99.
(From Monday next, it’ll sell for the usual easy reader price of £7.99.)
Get it from our ‘new’ online store (only – it’s not going in the ‘old’ club shop.)
By the way, you can see the other ebooks in our ‘day in the life of a famous person from history’ series here.
You might find someone who intrests you more than Leonardo. Or why not collect the whole series (there are sample chapters for each of them – look before you buy!)
Historical figures not your thing?
So go browse all ebooks for learning Italian. There’s sure to be something you could profit from.
OK, that’s it for today.
Hope you like the free sample chapter (.pdf).
A mercoledì!
