What reading level is Things Seen in Florence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chief among those are Maritozzi, or Roman buns, cheap brown biscuits called Quaresimali, Things Seen in Florence and another variety of biscuits, brigiddisi, which are strongly flavoured with aniseed, and which are baked on the spot in little portable ovens.
In Mid-Lent comes the Day of Scala, when children with clever fingers cut little ladders out of cardboard or soft perforated paper, then run out into the streets to play pranks on unwary passers-by. They carefully whiten one side of a cardb...oard ladder with chalk, then stamp its impress on the black coat of some respectable citizen and pin a fluttering paper ladder to a lady's skirt. Then they dart off with the mocking cry " L'ha, Tha, " (You Ve got it, you've got it), only to repeat the trick at the corner of the next street.
From the point of view of ecclesiastical customs, Holy Week and Easter are the most interesting of all the year to spend in Florence.
A great many of these customs prevail in other parts of Italy, as they are the ordinary ceremonies connected with the ritual of the Roman Church.
