Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Echoes of Old Florence: Her Palaces and Those Who Have Lived in Them These echoes of old Florence are intended to reach the ears of the dwellers and sojourners in new Florence, and to give them a change of study on the subject of its streets and houses. The art of Florence, its tangible antiquities, and its scenic beauties, have been written and studied till they are perfectly familiar to every tourist. But I believe no one has thought of recalling the human interest of those quaint streets now fast disappearing; and peopling the old houses whose solid stones still remain, with the very inhabitants who lived in them centuries ago; - the honest old burghers who were such good haters, and used their weapons as often as their tools; the, gay young cavaliers who rode to a joust or a skirmish with equal gusto; the richly clad dames who caused all the great tragedies; the pallid saints and nuns who fled from the turmoil of life; and the Popes, Kings, Lords, etc., who appeared as guests among them.
