00:00It's such a pleasure to be here in the Palazzo Vuiccioli, the very building where the great poet Lord Byron once lived and wrote.
00:11My name is John Mullen, I'm Professor of English Literature at University College London, and I'm here to represent the Queen's Reading Room, which is Her Majesty's wonderful charity.
00:23Byron wrote and spoke Italian, of course. He spoke and wrote Italian to Teresa, who didn't know English.
00:33Amor mio, the woman who has the strongest claim to have been the love of his life.
00:41As fair as sunrise and as warm as noon, he told a friend.
00:46He became close also to Teresa's family, the gambas, and through them.
00:53Thank you very much.
01:23Grazie a tutti.
