Excerpt from Studies of Travel: Italy
The city of Maecenas, and of a whole crowd of famous men of later times, shows no outward signs of being much frequented by travellers. There is some difficulty there in getting SO much as an Italian newspaper, and, though excellent photographs have been taken of some of the chief build ings, they must be sought for at Flor ence; they are not to be bought at Arezzo. Yet the old Etruscan city has many attractions, among them surely the singular cleanness of its streets, and, above all, that clear and pure air which is thought to have had some thing to do with nourishing the genius of. So many of its citizens in so many.
