   “from the married”: Joan Von Mehren, “Establishing the Facts on the Ossoli Family: An Experiment in E-Mail Research,”
Margaret Fuller Society Newsletter,
vol. 9, winter 2001, p. 2. I have altered Von Mehren’s translation slightly to correspond more closely to the original Latin, which is reprinted in “Margaret Fuller, the Marchese Giovanni Ossoli, and the Marriage Question: Considering the Research of Dr. Roberto Colzi,”
Resources for American Literary Study,
vol. 30, 2005, p. 122. For a thorough discussion of theories as to the timing of the Ossolis’ wedding, including the possibility that it may have taken place long after Nino’s birth when the family lived in Florence, or not at all, see “Margaret Fuller, the Marchese Giovanni Ossoli, and the Marriage Question,” pp. 104–43. Von Mehren concludes definitively that the wording of Nino’s baptismal record confirms that the couple had married in advance of the baptism.
