What reading level is Florence Some Tuscan Cities book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Medici family retained their Fiesole villa until the reign of Cosimo III. , when it was sold. Since then it has had many owners, amongst others the eccentric sister-in-law of Sir Horace THE OLD ROAD TO FIESOLE 153 Walpole, the Countess of Orford, who died here in 1773, leaving everything she possessed to her faithful friend Cavaliere Mozzi, whose name the villa bore for many years.
Below the terraces of Villa Medici stands a little chapel, dedicated to San Anzano, hidden away among gardens ...and olive and fruit orchards, some- what difficult to reach, as the road that passes it is little more than a dried-up water-course. There is nothing particular to notice about the exterior of the chapel, which dates from the tenth century ; but the interior contains some good della Robbia work, and the very doubtful "triumphs" of Botticelli. Ecclesiastically it is a benefice attached to the chapter of Fiesole.
On the hill-side, which rises sharply behind Villa Medici, built on a small platform overlooking the house and garden, stands the interesting convent of San Girolamo.
