What reading level is Lombard Towns of Italy Or the Cities of Ancient Lombardy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I saw the first changes to the renaissance manner in the entrances to the side chapels, whose low, round arches were set In frames that betrayed the classic revival. Over them extended a row of curious blind windows of double trefoil arches with painted backs. Within, these chapels opened freely Into each other by con- necting archways, like a continuous gallery; they were shut off from the nave by high Iron railings with closed gates.
The entrance to this artistic wilderness was guarded by a g...overnmental employe In uniform, who took the tickets; and others waited to act as guides to the visitors, who are not allowed to walk around alone. I was fortunate In securing a guide to myself, by offering a sufficient bonus; and we started out on the customary route, through the line of chapels on the left. Their rich decorations and altars, as I had expected, were Renaissance-work, and more than that, of the decadent Renaissance. The pala of the second chapel was a polyptich once executed by Perugino, In which 204 LOMBARD TOWNS OF ITALY the figure of God the Father still remained of his work, but the other five divisions were now only copies, — their originals being familiar sights of the National Gallery at London.
