Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Jay of Italy On a hot morning, in the year 1476 of poignant memory, there drew up before an osteria on the Millan road a fair cavalcade of travellers. These were Messer Carlo Lanti and his inamorata, together with a suite of tentmen, pages, falconers, bed-carriers, and other personnel of a migratory lord on his way from the cooling hills to the Indian summer of the plains. The chief of the little party, halting in advance of his fellows, lifted his plumed scarlet biretta with one strong young hand, and with the other, his reins hanging loose, ran a cluster of swarthy fingers through his black hair. 'O little host! he boomed, blaspheming for all good Catholics, conscious of their exclusive caste, swore by God prescriptively - 'O little host, by the thirst of Christs passion, wine!' 'He will bring you hyssop - by the token, he will, ' murmured the lady, who sat her white palfrey languidly beside him. She was a slumberous, ivory faced creature, warm and insolent and lazy; and the little bells of her bridle tinkled sleepily, as her horse pawed, gently rocking her. The cavalier grunted ferociously. 'Let me see him! and, bonneting himself again, sat with right arm akimbo, glaring for a response to his cry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Journeys, Vol. 1 We did not know, when we started from home in Venice, on the 8th of November 1864, that we had taken the longest road to Rome. We thought that of all the proverbial paths to the Eternal City that leading to Padua, and thence through Ferrara and Bologna to Florence, and so down the sea-shore from Leghorn to Civita Vecchia, was the best, the briefest, and the cheapest. Who could have dreamed that this path, so wisely and carefully chosen, would lead us to Genoa, conduct us on shipboard, toss us four dizzy days and nights, and set us down, void, battered, and bewildered, in Naples?

Untu tored by art, she riots with a juvenile vigour, and plays her virgin fancies uncontrolled. She is an artist who negligent of lesser graces, astonishes even the dullest observer, by a crea tive brilliancy. But there are, in the scenery of Italy, latent and refined beauties, which only the eye of taste can discover.

If possible, I take a daily walk in the beautiful environs. Thus, one afternoon, I visited the Cascines. The woods and meadows were most exquisitely illumined by the sunbright evening; about midnight a shower of rain fell on the cultivated hills; and towards morning Florence, with its domes and towers, was sharply defined upon a ground of black clouds. The whole scene was as diversified as beautiful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Rome and Italy written by Livy and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-05-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.
Download or read book The Italians in America Classic Reprint written by Philip M. Rose and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Italians in America The New Americans Series consists of studies of the following racial groups, together with a study of the Eastern Orthodox Churches: Albanian and Bulgarian, Armenian and Assyrian-Chaldean, Czecho-Slovak, Greek, Italian, Jewish, Jugo-Slav (Croatian, Servian, Slovenian), Magyar, Polish, Russian and Ruthenian, or Ukrainian, Spanish (Spaniards) and Portuguese, Syrian. These studies, made under the auspices of the Interchurch World Movement were undertaken to show, in brief outline, the social, economic and religious background, European or Asiatic, of each group and to present the experience - social, economic and religious - of the particular group in America, with special reference to the contact of the given people with religious institutions in America. It was designed that the studies should be sympathetic but critical. It is confidently believed that this series will help America to appreciate and appropriate the spiritual wealth represented by the vast body of New Americans, each group having its own peculiar heritage and potentialities; and will lead Christian America, so far as she will read them, to become a better lover of mankind. The writer, in each case, is a kinsman or has had direct and intimate relationship with the people, or group of peoples, presented. First hand knowledge and the ability to study and write from a deeply sympathetic and broadly Christian viewpoint were primary conditions in the selection of the authors.

Download or read book Among Italian Peasants Classic Reprint written by Tony Cyriax and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among Italian Peasants I remember once, in company with a distinguished critic, leaning on that balcony at Settignano which spreads out before one the whole Tuscan plain; but though the day was lovely and the year at the spring, my friend ventured to make a grimace, explaining that too many maiden ladies had wept over this view for it to move him now. I did not know then the sketches of Tony Cyriax, and so had nothing wherewith to comfort him, and, in fact, I knew only too depressingly what he meant, and how wellnigh impossible it is to see Italy in a fresh, candid way. Imagine, then, the pleasure in making the acquaintance of the artist these pages introduce to the public, for I think she possesses this gift of an untouristlike vision in a quite definite degree. If we consider how well we know in advance what an artist means by his sketches of Italy, we must confess when these pages have been well studied, how little we could have anticipated the drawings of Miss Cyriax. In place of the well-thumbed repository most of us find it, her Italy is a vivid, hard, strange new place, peopled by workmen and peasants, who have a fascination about them that the picturesque could never give.
