"Whatever may be the fate of this Poem, it has led the Author in many an after-dream through a beautiful country; and may not perhaps be uninteresting to those who have learnt to live in Past Times as well as Present, and whose minds are familiar with the Events and the People that have rendered Italy so illustrious ..." ~Excerpted from the Preface.
