Excerpt from Through the Alps to the Apennines This is a book on Italy by a lover of Italy. It is the account of a motor tour by one who loves motoring for its own sake - in other countries. In Italy motoring is not less delightful than in France, or in Germany, not less delightful than it would be in England but for irksome and absurd restrictions. But Italy herself is so inexhaustible in her ever varied attractions, that motoring soon becomes a means of seeing the less tourist-ridden parts of the country within reasonable time. Many of the most attractive cities and monuments of Italy are so difficult of access by any other means of locomotion, that a week would be needed to do the work done by car in a day. Only, it is necessary not to be too voracious - to be content with seeing the best, and only the best, and to know by previous study where the best is to be found. Conscientious and systematic sight-seeing is out of the question when the car is waiting at the door. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
