Excerpt from The Casentino and Its Story
A region so beautiful and so interesting as the Casentino needs no recommendation to the traveller. Its forests and streams and high, flower-spread lawns, the noble forms of the mountains, glorious in colour, whether lying still beneath the sun, or when, terrible in cloud, "the Apennine walks abroad with the storm," are in themselves allurement enough. But there is, besides, the romance of ruined castles, of medieval battlefields and storied towns, while to all who reverence the human spirit in its highest manifestations, that must needs be holy ground, where, at every turn, you come upon traces of such men as Francis of Assisi and Dante Alighieri.
Those who penetrate into the Valley are sure, moreover, to be enchanted by the frank friendliness of the people, and the picturesque simplicity of their ways. But many are held back by fear of finding the accommodation too rough.
