Book Description
Excerpt from The Roman Campagna He has thus been able to give a picture of absorbing interest of its scenery and its inhabitants. Happily modifications have already begun to take place in some of the details. The attention called to the misery of the people by this book and by the exertions of the Committee for Schools on the Agro, and the reports of the Red Cross Society, have led to the establishment of a Bureau to protect their interests. Capitalists are be ginning to see that there is an Opening for the profitable investment of money in reclaiming the land and it is to be hoped that soon malaria and the caporali, the two great curses of the country, will be things of the past. This English edition does not profess to be a literal translation of the Italian book. Under the supervision of the author some passages specially addressed to Italian readers have been cut out; others which might have been obscure to foreign readers have been slightly amplified, and the aim has always been to present the author's ideas rather than his actual words.

The Villas of Pliny from Antiquity to Posterity
Author: Pierre de la Ruffinière du PreyPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226173009
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Pierre de la Ruffinière du Prey traces the influence of Pliny the Younger as a continuous theme throughout the history of architecture. First he looks at what Pliny considered to be the essential qualities of a villa. He then discusses the many buildings Pliny inspired: from the Renaissance estates of the Medici, to papal summer residences near Rome, to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, and the home of former Canadian prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Equally important to du Prey's study are the many designs by architects past and present that remain on paper. These imaginary restitutions of Pliny's villas, each representative of its own epoch, trace in microcosm the evolution of the classical tradition in domestic architecture. In analyzing each project, du Prey illuminates the work of such great masters as Michelozzo, Raphael, Palladio, and Schinkel, as well as such well-known modern architects as Léon Krier, Jean-Pierre Adam, and Thomas Gordon Smith.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Roman Exile We proceeded silently, both occupied by painful thoughts, till we arrived at a point where we had to cross the highway. It was at the entrance of a pretty little town called Savignano, ten miles north of Rimini. We crossed the road quickly, and were about to enter the open field again, when my father, stopping the horse suddenly, let me down gently, Close by an ancient marble milestone; and then alighted from the horse himself, in order, as I thought, to take some repose.
