Recently, several of you gifted me rare, insightful, and highly relevant books for my research. These were far more than simple gestures—they were acts of trust, intellectual solidarity, and quiet affirmations that this story is worth telling.
Cardinal Ruffo’s campaign was more than just a military episode; it was a deeply human story of faith, loyalty, resistance, and redemption. Knowing that others also recognize its significance has given me the encouragement to press on.
So thank you—not only for the books, but for your belief, your support, and your quiet motivation to keep moving forward. History, like friendship, flourishes through such gestures.
