| Summary | "More Italian Yesterdays" by Mrs. Hugh Fraser is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich tapestry of Italian history and culture, with an emphasis on prominent saints and figures from early Christianity, such as St. Boniface and St. Gregory the Great. Through these narratives, it provides insights into the intertwining of spirituality and societal development in ancient Rome. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces her friendship with a woman named Mary Grace, which blossoms into a shared pilgrimage to Rome, highlighting their conversations about saints and Christian history. The opening chapter recounts the story of Aglaë and Boniface, who transition from a life consumed by passionate love to one of faith and repentance amidst the backdrop of Diocletian's persecution. This poignant tale sets the tone for exploring various historical figures and events, shedding light on the struggles and transformations that shaped the spiritual landscape of Italy during the early centuries of Christianity.
