This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Details of the Architecture of Tuscany We have endeavoured to make the book as comprehensive as possible in the range of subjects chosen for presentation in order that its usefulness may cover a wide field. We have endeavoured also to select subjects replete with suggestive value and suitable for a diversity of applications. Most of all, we have striven for absolute exactitude and fidelity of presentment so that the exquisite subtlety of all the details may be preserved. Not only are the meas ured drawings given, so that the physical actuality of each subject may be grasped, but likewise half tone illustrations which convey the spirit of the work and the ensemble of its environment. We have included a number of homely items such as the measurements of flooring bricks and how they are laid, or the dimensions of roofing tiles and the manner of their hanging, items devoid, perhaps, of spectacular appeal but valuable for their intimate constructional interest. Information upon such points as these the architect seeks for in vain in the monumental works. Along with these minor but exceedingly important matters are included sundry measurements of rustication the treatment of farmhouse and villa chimneys, and exact schemes of the painting of beamed ceilings.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Villas of Florence and Tuscany Without a knowledge of the unsung loveliness of Tuscan rural life and the Spirit of Tuscany, one cannot hope to have an adequate and sympathetic understanding of the Italian Renaissance, that marvellous efflorescence of Italian genius to which our modern civilisation is debtor in countless ways. Only the larger and more celebrated villas are familiar to most of us. Hence we are apt to think of all villas as imposing in size of structure and area of demesne. Actual facts, however do not bear out such a conception. Hundreds of villas are of modest extent and unpretentious structure. Not a few are really small.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Florence Some Tuscan Cities To presume to contribute, however modest an addition, to the immense wealth of literature devoted to Florence, her history, and her art, from the days of Villani and of Muratori down to the present time, appears indeed to be beyond the powers of an inexperienced pen. In undertaking these slight descriptions, my aim has been a simple one - to write an accompaniment, if such a term is applicable to letters, to the sketches with which this book is illustrated, and to touch superficially only, such debatable subjects as Tuscan architecture, painting, and sculpture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in Tuscany In addition to the power and influence that Tus cany derives from its cities, Florence, indissolubly associated as it is with glorious recollections of past greatness, gives to the province of which it is the capital, a distinguished position among other Italian States. Proud memories of the fame, the power, the riches and conquests of Florence in bygone times - of the great names which have shed lustre on its literature, arts, science and arms - foster the bright hopes and lofty aspirations in which Italians indulge, of the future of their native land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Smaller Tuscan Towns It is natural that the traveller should want to see how this remarkable society expressed itself, what sort of surroundings it provided for its activities, how it satisfied its love of beauty. Fortunately the search for such things will take him into every corner of a wonderful land; he will inevitably mix with every condition of men, he will see the life of a race having an immemorial tradition of civilisa tion, he will journey through a country of strangely diverse beauty. If he be of Northern race he will find the quality of the life and the art gain in piquancy by a setting different from his own. This variety in habit and the climate of a Southern land will yield a constant delight, whether the sojourn be in some great city in some wide upland valley, in some remote mountain town, among the chestnut forests, or on the strangely fascinating Maremma shore.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Shrines in Tuscany To all those who, by their writings or their sympathies, have helped me in my work, I wish to express my thanks, and am indebted for much information to the Italian Life in Town and Country, by Mr. Luigi Villari; to the Uffizio della Settlmana Santa, by Monsignor Martini; for some details of the life of David Lazzaretti, the prophet of Monte Amiata, to Professor Barzalotti's interesting book on the subject; and to many ancient Italian writers who have long since passed beyond the reach of my thanks. If any other of the books, prose and poetry, which have interested and informed me during my study of Tuscan life, have influenced or aided me, leaving impressions which I cannot trace to their source, I here offer my thanks to their authors, be they who they may; but my true teacher from first to last has been Italy herself, my best book the open page of the Tuscan country, traced over with the daily doings of the Tuscan folk; and for a book and teacher so beautiful, a leisure in which to study, so blessed, there is but one fitting word, "Laus Deo " About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

These chapters include Mount La Verna, where St. Francis in 1224 received the Stigmata, and where there is to-day a flourishing convent of the Friars Minor; Camaldoli, with its monastery and hermitage, and its great hotel, now a favourite summer resort of the Tuscans; Montecatini, the gay inland watering-place, the Tunbridge of Tuscany; and the old State of the Spanish Praesidia in the Province of Grosseto, with its wonderful Spanish fortresses and keeps.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tuscan Studies and Sketches There is a certain ancient library in Florence, called the "Magliabecchiana," which is a delightful haunt for a bookworm. Here one can burrow among the black-letter tomes of the old chronicler, and there is no more amusing reading than the gossip of the old Florentine writer. Here one can find all that past times have known on any Florentine subject, and hunt out the history of every old family and massive palace.

Download or read book Siena and Southern Tuscany Classic Reprint written by Edward Hutton and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siena and Southern Tuscany In any journey through Southern Tuscany the traveller, if he be wise, will set out from Empoli and use the old mediaeval highway, Via Francigena, at least as far as Siena. If he come by train from Florence or the North it is at Empoli by the Val d' Elsa that he will enter this beautiful country; and, indeed, for all practical purposes the railway follows the road up the valley so far as the lovely city which on her triune hill seems to rule all this southern part of Tuscany, made up as it is of hill and vale and desert. The great highway, which, whether afoot or in the train, the traveller will thus follow to Siena is, as it were, the backbone of the Sanese. By it, and by it alone, whether from Rome or from the North, Europe, the life of Europe, passed into this great corner of Tuscany. Unknown to the Romans, the Via Francigena, or Francesca, for it is known by either name, was, as its name implies, the way of the Franks into Italy, the one thing maybe that anywhere in the world was created by the Dark Ages, as we so rightly call that vast period of time in which the light of Rome seemed to be extinguished and Europe at the mercy of the Barbarians.
