Translation examples
Skipping the customary ceremonial, Lucrezia, the Vicaress, as she was called, plunged right in and, addressing the array of attending cardinals, began speaking in a firm, clarion voice: “Several days ago, in Lombardy, between Lake Maggiore and Lake Como, a woman died whose name was renowned throughout the Po valley. She was not of noble birth; indeed, she came into this world as an illiterate peasant and, while still quite young, fled the home of her parents which was located in a small village called Cascina dei Poveri.
Dejando a un lado el acostumbrado ceremonial, Lucrecia, la Vicaria, como se la llamaba, entra inmediatamente en el asunto y, dirigiéndose hacia las hileras de cardenales, comienza a hablar con voz templada y tono firme: —Hace unos días, en Lombardía, entre el Lago Mayor y el Lago de Como, murió un mujer famosa en todo el valle del Po. No era de familia noble, todo lo contrario, sus orígenes son los de una campesina analfabeta que, todavía joven, huyó de la casa de sus padres, ubicada en un pueblo llamado Cascina dei Poveri, Alquería de los Pobres.
