It is Italy steeped in golden sunlight which lies like a haze over the spreading View the year I360, when cities were beautiful and nature all-pervading. Here is Lombardy, Spread like a garden in the hollow of the hills, ringed about with the purple Apennines, covered with flowers, white, yellow, purple, and pink.
