Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Last Days of Papal Rome: 1850 1870

Rome, since September 20, 1870, has so changed as to render the reconstruction of her past most difficult, a past complicated by historical circum stances and by reason of its geography; a city not really in the centre of Italy, the political capital of a small Italian State and the religious capital of the Catholic world, girdled by a desert and marshes, almost skirting the sea, yet not a maritime city; subject to the enervating Sirocco, enclosed within walls, of which two-thirds surrounded villas, vine yards, meadows, malarial cane fields and ruins.
