Book Description
Excerpt from The Cities of Northern Italy For several years past I have devoted myself to collecting and arranging material for a book to embody the idea I had thus entertained. I earnestly hope it may meet a want on the part of tourists, especially Americans, who, so far as my experience goes, usually come to Eu rope with an honest and reverent desire to learn from the Old World whatever of value it has to teach them, and who are prepared to take an amount of pains in turning their trip to good account, which is both rare and praise worthy. For such readers I shall call attention at times to other sources of information. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Romance of the Italian Villas (Northern Italy) Are these stories true?" Yes, true as brain and heart can make them. I have not, like Froude "attempted in cold blood to impart verisimilitude to otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative." Earnestly and without regard to the labour involved I have sought the essential truth. Returning from rambles in northern Italy, where I have been a guest, as at Villa Giusti, in Edens whose Eves have been long forgotten by their own descendants I have sought until their faces were revealed in a darkening canvas on the wall of some old palace and their lives as by flash-light by poets such as Dante, Bonifazio, or Cino.

Book Description
Excerpt from Art in Northern Italy The most beautiful, the most complete and the most unimpaired monuments of so-called Byzantine art are preserved in Ravenna, a city of northern Italy. This city had already achieved a notable development under the Roman empire, for Augustus had recognised its suitability for the chief station of the Roman fleet on the Adriatic, and Tiberius had strengthened it with walls, and adorned it with public buildings. The emperor Honorius accordingly deemed it worthy to be the capital of the empire of the west, a position which it maintained for seventy-five years, up to the time when Odoacer, leader of the Heruli and the Turingi, had occupied the town and overthrown the Roman rule. That wise and modest barbarian established himself at Ravenna after his conquest of Italy, and here in 493 he died, treacherously slain by Theodoric, who had taken the city after a siege of three years, and had pretended to accept Odoacer as his coadjutor. Left as sole ruler, Theodoric in his turn confirmed the position of Ravenna as capital of his kingdom. The rule of the Goths lasted for sixty-three years and gave rise to a splendid development of the life and of the monuments of the town. However, on the death of Theodoric, the power of the Goths declined, and before long was finally annihilated by Belisarius and Narses; administered by these generals under Justinian, the city attained to yet greater magnificence.

Book Description
"A major, on-the-ground look at antiquities looting in Italy. More looting of ancient art takes place in Italy than in any other country. Ironically, Italy trades on the fact to demonstrate its cultural superiority over other countries. And, more than any other country, Italy takes pains to prevent looting by instituting laws, cultural policies, export taxes, and a famously effective art-crime squad that has been the inspiration of novels, movies, and tv shows. In fact, Italy is widely regarded as having invented the discipline of art policing. In 2006 the then-president of Italy declared his country to be "the world's greatest cultural power." Why do Italians believe this? Why is the patria, or "homeland," so frequently invoked in modern disputes about ancient art, particularly when it comes to matters of repatriation, export, and museum loans? Fiona Greenland's Ruling Culture addresses these questions by tracing the emergence of antiquities as a key source of power in Italy from 1815 to the present. Along the way, it investigates the activities and interactions of three main sets of actors: state officials (including Art Squad agents), archaeologists, and illicit excavators and collectors"--
