    • 1957, Indro Montanelli, “Capitolo primo: Ab urbe condita”, in Storia di Roma [History of Rome], 46th edition, Milan, published 1973, page 13:
      Per caso in quei paraggi passava il dio Marte che scendeva sovente sulla terra, un po’ per farvi qualche guerricciola, ch’era il suo mestiere abituale, un po’ per cercare delle ragazze, ch’era la sua passione favorita. Vide Rea Silvia. Se ne innamorò. E senza nemmeno svegliarla, la rese incinta.
      By chance, the god Mars was around there: he would often come down to the Earth, both to wage some small war, which was his usual profession, and to look for girls, which was his greatest passion. He saw Rhea Silvia. He fell in love with her. And, without even waking her up, he made her pregnant.

    • 1840, Alessandro Manzoni, “Capitolo IX [Chapter 9]”, in I promessi sposi, Tip. Guglielmini e Redaelli, page 180:
      Tra queste deplorabili guerricciole con sè e con gli altri, aveva varcata la puerizia, e s’inoltrava in quell’età così critica, nella quale par che entri nell’animo quasi una potenza misteriosa, che solleva, adorna, rinvigorisce tutte l’inclinazioni, tutte l’idee, e qualche volta le trasforma, o le rivolge a un corso impreveduto.
      Amidst these deplorable, petty conflicts against herself and others, she had passed her childhood, and entered that age so critical, in which a mysterious force seems to enter the soul, exhalting, adorning and renewing every inclination, every idea, someetimes transforming them, or turning them towards an unforeseen way.
