What reading level is Italian Journeys book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We were in sight of the breakwater outside Mala- mocco, and a pilot-boat was making us from the land. Even at this point the innumerable fortifica- tions of the Austrians began, and they multiplied as we drew near Venice, till we entered the lagoon, and found it a nest of fortresses one with another.
Unhappily the day being rainy, Venice did not spring resplendent from the sea, as I had always read she would. She rose slowly and languidly from the water, — not like a queen, but like the gray, s...lovenly, bedrabbled, heart-broken old slave she really was.
III. BASSANO I HAVE already told, in recounting the story of our visit to the Cimbri, how full of courtship we found the little city of Bassano on the evening of our arrival there. Bassano is the birthplace of the painter Jacopo da Ponte, who was one of the first Italian painters to treat scriptural story as accessory to mere landscape, and who had a peculiar fondness BASSANO 253 for painting Entrances into the Ark, for in these he could indulge without stint the taste for pairing-off early acquired from observation of local customs in his native town.
