NEWS ON BEHALF OF ANNE LISTER ITALIA

Anne Lister's journals introduced us to Madame de Bourke, a dear friend of her who lived in Paris. She was the widowed countess of a Danish diplomat, with an intriguing and surprising life that began in Italy, since Maria Assunta Leonida Butini (her maiden name) was born in Siena, Tuscany. Our research sparked from Anne's journals, and thanks to documents we've found in archives between Naples and Copenhagen plus a few other biographical accounts, we have reconstructed her story.

🚨 Spoiler alert: unfortunately Anne Lister died before her, and could never know how right she had been about this woman. Read the article about Madame de Bourke on our website and find out why!
