What reading level is Journeys in Italy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Customhouse is in its place, of different con- struction, but the church Delia Salute does not exist. At the place where somewhat later the Rialto rises to view, there is a wooden bridge furnished with planks, the center of whicli is occupied by a platform which is raised by chains. In general, the aspect of the city is the same, since for three centuries not a single stone has been placed upon another in the cities of Italy.
Continuing the nomenclature, we call attention next to the Hall o...f the Philosophers, in which a very beauti- ful chimney-piece by Pierre Lombard is to be noticed. The Hall of the Stuccos, so named on account of its ornamentation : It contains paintings by Salviati, Por- denone, and Bassan ; the Virgin, a Descent from the Cross, and the Nativity of Jesus Christ. The Banquet HaU : It was here that the Doge gave certain diplomatia C 136 ] VENICE The Court of the Ducal Palace JOURNEYS IN ITALY banquets, the state dinners, as we should call them to- day. A portrait of Henry III may be seen there, by Tintoretto, very fine, and very vigorous, and, facing the door, the Adoration of the Magi, a warm painting by Bonifazio, that great master, of whose work we have almost nothing in Paris.
