Rosa had been a servant in England for 17 years, her husband having a brother in America. During the Austrian occupation of Florence, 1851-1852, Francesco and Rosa Madiai were imprisoned, then exiled, for being Italians who became Protestant, Rosa translating the Bible into Italian which was forbidden. Her husband died three years earlier in Switzerland, his health, both physical and mental, broken, and is buried there. She returned from exile in 1859, living simply in Piazza del Carmine. A29/ WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR's last Imaginary Conversation is of the Cardinal of Florence pleading with Francesco Madiai in his prison cell that he reconsider and reconvert to Catholicism, offering him in return freedom and his wife. His reply, 'I love my wife, but I love God more'. He wrote this as part of a world-wide campaign to release these two prisoners of conscience, a sort of earlier day Amnesty International.
