      ab: This text explores the history of male homosexuality in Italy, specifically focusing on the early 20th century. It challenges the notion that homosexuality was solely a middle-class phenomenon created by elite medical journals. The author examines the correspondence between Frederick William Rolfe, also known as Baron Corvo, and Charles Masson Fox, which provides evidence of a public but clandestine culture of love and sex between males. The article also discusses the economic and social factors that fostered cross-class homoerotic encounters in port cities like Venice. The author acknowledges the ethical challenges of writing about intergenerational sex and emphasizes the need to understand historical contexts when analyzing age-asymmetrical relationships.
