About this book
The account of motoring in Italy argues that the old country, half hidden by progress, cannot always be discovered from a railway carriage or hotel omnibus. The discussion says that an automobile often brings that older country into plainer view and takes travellers into the life of a country. The advice to tourists includes the countryside and smaller towns, alongside the galleries of Rome, Florence, Siena and Venice.
Tusculum lies above Frascati and is described as Cato's birthplace and a former residence of Cicero, with a traditional foundation attributed to a son of Ulysses. The account also records an ancient castle's ruins at Tusculum, associated with quarrelsome counts who fought for causes whether just or unjust.
