Preview Southern Italy: With Sicily, and Sardinia
BLUE GUIDE EDITED BY L. RUSSELL MUIRHEAD ITALY Ca By THE Blue Guide to Southern Italy, re- written and brought up to date, com- pletes the post-war description of the country. Within the area described are the cities of Magna Graecia—Paestum, Segesta, Agrigento—with a succession of Doric temples scarcely surpassed in Greece itself, and others—Syracuse, Taormina, Gela—with famous theatres and fortresses. Hardly less impressive are the Roman remains, which include Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the mosaics at Piazza Armerina. Southern Italy owes to its many conquests the diversity of its monuments: catacombs survive at Syracuse; Saracen styles linger in Amalfi and Palermo, the Norman style in Monreale and Apulia; Spanish influences contributed in Naples and Sicily to an exuberant flowering of Baroque art. This is a land for which reliable in- formation has not been readily available, and full attention is here given to every aspect of the past. But in addition it is the land of Naples and its Bay ; Vesuvius, and the famed resorts of Capri, Ischia, and Sorrento; the magnificently scenic province of Calabria; Etna, offering winter-sports; and unspoilt Sardinia. For the unashamed holiday-maker a section on food and wine supplements the usual detailed information about hotels, transport, etc. New maps and town-plans have been specially drawn for the edition. 63d7ne5.t. iJ a ru ra O ee) Fr cm Pe sy =) T>ias CIVITAVECCHIA > ao a PantellericS) and Lampedusa - ee onCa eoaef.
