Italy, Vol. 2: Handbook for Travellers; Central Italy and Rome (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from Italy, Vol. 2: Handbook for Travellers; Central Italy and Rome

The objects of the Handbook for Italy, which consists of three volumes, each complete in itself, are to supply the traveller with some information regarding the progress of civilisation and art among the people he is about to visit, to render him as independent as possible of the services of guides and valets - de-place, to protect him against extortion, and in every way to aid him in deriving enjoyment and instruction from his tour in one of the most fascinating coun tries in the world. The Handbook will also, it is hoped, be the means of saving the traveller many a trial of temper; for there are few countries where the patience is more severely taxed than in some parts of Italy.
