Do you have any information or images on what people were wearing in the (northern) Italian countryside in 1796/7? Thank you!

Hi! Thank you for asking and sorry for the wait! The most knowledge of Italian dress I have is from Late Medieval to 16th century so take this with a grain of salt.

In late 18th century fashion was starting to become pretty universal in western world and the regional differences started to wane. However in countryside people often didn't follow fashions very closely. In countryside the trends often came late and where adapted to the traditional clothes. How much there was difference between countryside and cities depends a lot on the place. Some countries were industrializing quicker, some had still very much feudalist systems in the countryside. Italy, especially Southern Italy, had pretty feudalist countryside still at the end of 18th century. Northern Italy was much more industrialized. Italy also has very strong cultural differences across all it's regions and it shows especially in the dress of Italian countryside.

I think it's safe to assume in Northern Italian countryside especially richer people did follow fashions or at least the fashionable silhouettes of the time to some extent. In the 1796-7 it would mean risen empire waistline and fairly voluminous but softly draping skirt. Here's an example of fashionable dress from 1797.

That said especially peasants and working class people in the countryside probably wore silhouettes from previous decades. I found illustrations from 18th and early 19th century from peasant clothing of different areas of Northern Italy. None of them has specific year known, but they do give some direction what was specific to the area and as the countryside fashions changed slower, it's probably a good indication.

Here's dress from Genova, Liguria, from somewhere around 18th century.

Next one is from Lombardy early 19th century. The empire waistline is already incorporated to the clothing.

Next is an 18th century illustration from Piedmont. In these Northwestern Italian clothing there's a French influence, I think it's clearest in this illustration. It makes sense since Piedmont is next to French border.

Next one is 18th century Tuscany, which is not as north as the earlier example, but still northish. This dress reflect very well the fashionable silhouette of the period, but with casual working class style. She is wearing a bedgown (the jacket type of garment) which working class women wore generally and upper class women used as a casual dress when they were at home. In 1780s it became fashionable day wear appropriate for outdoors for upper class women too.

Here's an early 19th century example from Ticino Valley, which is very much at the Swiss border near Milan. It again has the raised waistline and it shows very clear Germanic influences.

Lastly here's an example from 18th century Venice. Venice has always had very unique fashions.

Hope this helps!

LMAO poor guy 😭😭

I find it funny that Freddie just has some non human features and went "yo this is normal"

Also I hc he has some longer than normal canine teeth, not really fangs per se, but also longer than average and then they grew when he started growing into his vampire nature at the ripe age of 24 and, naturally, he started using Jonathans arm as a chewing toy during his sleep

LMAOO he's so real I wish I had a chewing toy 💔

then there's Dante who would have thought humans had his same features (because he never actually had human interactions other than murder lmao) until he met Matteo 😭

if I was in Gilroy place I wouldn't know if I should be shocked or offended that my child came to THAT conclusion out of all possibilities 😭😭

very limited plot armor

I was thinking and like if Matteo doesn't fuckin die first Dante will probably turn him at some point because he is NOT gonna let the man die

then the fucker will probably die by hunters anyway because I hate him but hey at least they live long enough as vampires

Just like Freddies mum, she died also through hunters!

She wanted to turn Gilroy and he was fine w it but then their parents and when they finally escaped she immediately was attacked by hunters who wanted to "rescue" Gilroy, assuming she tricked him and was abt to kill him

Bro therefore now shelters his kids away from society bcs he doesn't wanna loose them too

[knowledge-paradox]

he never getting a break

also I don't know how he managed to survive but he did

and ended up down bad for the same guy who almost murdered him . jeez

sobbing I don't blame him

also it came to me that in this au Matteo likely didn't meet Dante in college

which prolly means he almost died when he met him lmao

Annabelle being a vampire and forcefully turning Jonathan so that he'll always get reminded of her simply by remembering what he lost (his being human)
