Excerpt from Sixtine Rome
Just before the Via Appia turns sharply down wards, opposite a marble plate bearing the coat of arms of the Barberini Pope, Urbanus VIII, a pathway to the left leads to the majestic Porta Furba. Or, going down a certain distance on the Via Appia, the road leads through classic ground and, to the right, a mighty mass of brick marks the direction of the Via Latina.

Excerpt from Sixtine Rome
Only for this reason: one of the many Romes in Rome awaits to be discovered. Perhaps it has already been discovered a thousand times, or it may be that the discovery will prove only a weak sup position. That is all the same, for it is measured according to the potentiality of the mind which conceives it. A Shelley will make his Cenci; a Bulwer a Cola Di Rienzi, and inspiration may be given to one who writes a letter home about his evening. No doubt it ends, in many cases, in a dreamy hour in an armchair, While the fire burns low and the sounds outside die away, until the neighbouring bells solemnly strike midnight.
