Summary "Lucia Rudini: Somewhere in Italy" by Martha Trent is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story revolves around a young Italian girl named Lucia Rudini as she navigates the complexities of war, family responsibilities, and bravery. The narrative delves into Lucia's determination to protect her family and town while detailing her interactions with soldiers and the impacts of the conflict on their lives. The opening of the book introduces Lucia and her younger brother, Beppino, as they live a simple life in the small town of Cellino, Italy. Lucia is responsible for caring for their goats, which support their family, and she frequently ventures into town to sell milk with her cousin Maria. Their idyllic life is overshadowed by the war, hinted at as soldiers arrive in the town and news of battles and losses permeate their lives. Through lively conversations and Lucia's spirited personality, the reader quickly learns about her longing for adventure and her quiet defiance against the war's many challenges, setting the stage for a tale of courage and resilience.
