Pirazzini, writing in 1917, noted inaccuracies, such as Lamartine's age during the trip to Italy (eighteen in the novel, early twenties in reality), but considered them of little relevance, as his memories were "surrounded with light and poetry".
Pirazzini, menuliskan pada tahun 1917, mencatat ketidak-akuratan, seperti usia Lamartine selama perjalanan ke Italia (18 tahun di novel, nyatanya awal 20-an), tetapi menganggapnya tidak terlalu relevan, sebagaimana kenangannya "dikelilingi cahaya dan puisi".
