To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I thought of what a different view the Ostrogoth must have be- held when he reigned on this summit, — the imperial marble city, still largely existing, in its splendor of baths, temples, and palaces; of which to-day there remained beneath my eye only those broken frag- ments of the theatre below, and the distant mutilated arches of the Arena. From the northern end of Piazza Erbe runs one of the main thoroughfares of the city, a little south of west, under the successive names of Corso Porta Bor...sari and Corso Cavour, directly to the Castel Vecchio of the Scaligers; whence it continues as a modern w T ide avenue to the far-off Porta Palio. The Hotel Aquila Nera is located midway between Corso Borsari and Via Nuova; and just an equal distance to the north beyond the former rises the large Church of S. Eufemia, the remaining object of interest in the eastern half of the peninsula. It is a brick structure of the thirteenth century, of general Gothic type, crowded closely between houses, with only a small open space before the facade.
