  • Abstract
    A young man runs away from home to pursue a dream: becoming a Jesuit. Count Guidobaldo Cobenzl (1716-1797) secretly leaves on 23 March 1729 and plunges his family into chaos. His gesture imitates that of Saint Stanislaus Kostka but does not have the same heroic connotations: in a few hours he is discovered and brought back to his parents. This case represents one of the very few life testimonies of a youngster from Gorizia in the modern age. Mentality, thoughts and expectations of youth in that period are today almost completely unknown due to the lack of direct sources from non-adults before the 19th century.
