There is \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esome difficulty there in getting so much as an Italian newspaper, and, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethough excellent photographs have been taken of some of the chief \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebuildings, they must be sought for at Florence; they are not to be bought at \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArezzo. Yet the old Etruscan city has many attractions, among them surely \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe singular cleanness of its streets, and, above all, that clear and pure air \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhich is thought to have had something to do with nourishing the genius \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof so many of its citizens in so many different ways. Perhaps, on the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhole, Arezzo does not suffer from not having yet put on the cosmopolitan \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echaracter of some of its neighbours. And if the city does not, either as \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArretium or as Arezzo, stand forth in the first rank of Italian cities, still it \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehas a long history under both forms of its name. If, again, its buildings do \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enot rank with those of Pisa or Lucca, still there is quite enough both in the \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egeneral aspect of the city, and in some particular objects within its walls, to \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclaim a day or two's sojourn from any one who is not eager to rush from \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlorence to Rome as fast as the so-called express train can carry him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9791041984725\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eExplorations of Italy's Historical Landscapes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9791041984725","offer_id":48305935548741,"sku":"9791041984725","price":18.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a34f0555-5bd5-49df-9e8f-100176281626.jpg?v=1768460106","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/studies-of-travel-italy-von-edward-a-freeman","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
