What reading level is A Wanderer in Florence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For here you may see what civilization was like centuries before Christ and Rome. The beginnings of the Etruscan people are indistinct, but about 1000 B.C. has been agreed to as the dawn of their era. Etruria comprised Tuscany, Perugia, and Rome itself. Florence has no remains, but Fiesole was a fortified Etruscan town, and many traces of its Digitized by Google 282 ANNUNZIATA AND SPEDALE INNOCENTI original builders may be seen there, together with Etruscan relics in the little museum. For the ...best reconstructions of an Etruscan city one must go to Volterra, where so many of the treasures in the present building were found.
The Etruscans in their heyday were the most powerful people in the world, but after the fifth century their supremacy gradually disappeared, the Gauls on the one side and the Romans on the other wearing them down.
All our knowledge of them comes through the spade.
Excavations at Volterra and elsewhere have revealed some thousands of inscriptions which have been in part de- ciphered; but nothing has thrown so much light on this accomplished people as their habit of providing the ashes of their dead with everything likely to be needed for the next world, whose requirements fortunately so exactly tallied with those of this that a complete system of domes- tic civilization can be deduced.
