LIFE OF CARDINAL MEZZOFANTI
Home > Mezzofanti > Biography > 1807 to 1814 > Modena and Parma

Joseph Minarelli, the eldest of his sister's sons, was summoned to Modena in 1813, to ballot in the conscription which followed the terrible campaign of 1812, so fatal to the armies of France. Signora Minarelli was naturally much alarmed at the chance of her son's being drawn in the conscription, and in consideration for her anxiety, his uncle accompanied him to Modena upon the occasion.
