What reading level is Italy Rome And Naples book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A placard affixed to it displays a prayer of about twenty words; whoever recites this obtains an indulgence of a hundred days. The placard recommends the faithful to commit the prayer to memory in order to recite it as often as possi- ble, and thus augment their stock of indulgences. One would imagine himself in a Buddhist country ; there is gilding for the better and relics for the poorer classes such is the comprehension of worship in Italy for the last two hundred years.
All these ideas vani...sh, when from the entrance you con- template the majestic amplitude of the great nave, quite white beneath the gold of its arch. The sun, as it declines, streams through the windows and pours upon the pave- ment a cataract of light. The apsis, furrowed with ancient mosaics, mingles its curves of purple and gold with the dazzling splendours of rays launched forth like flaming darts. You advance and suddenly from the peristyle the admirable piazza spreads out before you. Nothing in Rome is equal to it; you could not imagine a simpler spectacle, one more grave and beautiful : at first, the eloping square vast and deserted ; beyond, an esplanade with its growing grass, then, along green avenue with files of leafless trees stretching away in the distance, and Rt the extremity, relieving on the f>ky, the great basilica of Santa Croce with its tile roof and brown camjwmta SCENERY.
