Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Valentino an Historical Romance of the Sixteenth Century in Italy In Rome, on a crisp December morning in the year 1501, Monsignor Roccamura, Governor-General and Prelate of the Castle of St. Angelo, stood at the rampart of that fortress gazing upon the eddying Tiber at his feet, upon the houses opposite, and upon the Alban hills stretching away southward in varying tints of verdure. He had stepped from the balcony of a colonnaded building which served as residence for himself and his military lieutenants. In the centre of the court rose the massive tower of Hadrian´s tomb, which served the double use of arsenal and dungeon. Along the castle terrace loitered a couple of cross-bowmen; at the gate a dozen halberdiers sat upon rude benches throwing dice, while one of their number stood sentry; over all rested the grace and glory of the Italian sun, cordial and beneficent even on a winter´s day.
