Family Lexicon by Peg Boyers
Something has surely been lost in the translation: this is a nice idea, and I can see the appeal, intellectually. But I also found it painfully dull to read, and really only finished it to find out if there was a single interesting person in post-war Italy who was not a friend of Ginzburg and her family. The answer appears to be, no.
