I DEDICATE THIS BOOK IN TOKEN THAT THOSE WHO ARE DIVIDED BY BOTH SEA AND LAND MAY YET BE UNITED IN THEIR LOVE FOR ITALY
I have designed this book not as a guide, but as supplementary to a guide. The best of guide-books—even that of Murray or of Gsell-Fels—leaves a whole world of thought and knowledge untouched, being indeed of necessity so full of detail that broad, general views can scarcely be obtained from it.
