Adventism made its first tentative attempts in Italy in the second half of the 19th century, only to gain increasing momentum when it turned to the popular masses unfamiliar with the Gospel. Professor De Meo's work liberates and enriches us: he explains how the movement was born, how it was organized within the church; he then sketches the figures of the first witnesses in Italy, the growth of an organization that looked to the apostolic model and embraced a typically Anglo-Saxon pragmatism of efficiency; and finally, he recounts how the mission asserted itself through persecution, sometimes defeat, dedication, and victories.
