In the piazza we saw the beautiful front of a temple of Minerva, consisting of several marble pillars, fluted, and with rich capitalssupporting a pediment. It was as fine as anything I had seen at Rome, and is now, of course, converted into a Catholic church. I ought to have said that, instead of driving straight to the old lady's, we alighted at the door of a church near the city gate, and went in toinspect some melancholy frescos, and thence clambered up a narrow streetto the cathedral, which... has a Gothic front, old enough, but not veryimpressive. I really remember not a single object that we saw within, but am pretty certain that the interior had been stuccoed andwhitewashed. The ecclesiastics of old time did an excellent thing incovering the interiors of their churches with brilliant frescos, thusfilling the holy places with saints and angels, and almost with thepresence of the Divinity. The modern ecclesiastics do the next bestthing in obliterating the wretched remnants of what has had its day anddone its office.
