67 where the road runs down into the ravine, which must be crossed before reaching La Murtola. It is from this high point that our view is taken. Everything combines to render the picture one of the sweetest in the whole Riviera, to say nothing of the siamo in Italia romance, which will steal over, in spite of one's self. The principal object in the view, is the graceful campanile, thoroughly Italian in its form and surroundings, of La Murtola. The village lies along the ridge of the seaward sl...ope, wrapped in groves of lemon and olive. Beneath it, towards the blue sea, lies the rich level known as the Piano di latte^ the plain of milk : on which remain the stately blocks of two or three palaces, built in other days by the Genoese merchant princes. The for^round is a coppice of the pinus maritima and ilex, steeply falling into the ravine ; and in the distance the beautiful coast trends away to the point where Bordighera, with its campanile and graceful group of houses, terminates the view.
