Summary "The Italian Twins" by Lucy Fitch Perkins is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around twelve-year-old twins Beppo and Beppina, who are of aristocratic lineage yet face a dramatic adventure after getting lost in Florence. Their seemingly innocent outing to explore the city's Easter festivities quickly turns into a perilous abduction by a woman with a performing bear and monkey, leading them on a journey marked by mischief, challenges, and a desperate quest for freedom and home. The opening of the book introduces readers to the twins in the charming setting of Florence, where they wake early on Easter Saturday, eager with youthful energy. Initially excited to explore, their adventure soon turns dark when they lose their nurse and unwittingly hop onto a van, mistaking their captor for a helpful stranger. As the narrative unfolds, the twins become performers, struggling to escape the clutches of their capturers while longing for their family and home. The beginning vividly captures the twins' personalities and the contrasting innocence of childhood with the stark reality of their harrowing situation, setting the stage for a tale of resilience and adventure.
