Excerpt from Cities of Romagna and the Marches

It was one evening in that cavern of Lapi's. I had just returned, as it happened, from the Marches, and after dinner we had all been talking of Italy and its by-ways - those by-ways that I love best. Little by little our party of six or seven had been increased, till about the spoiled tables and the great half-empty wine-flasks were gathered an eager and excited throng, among whom were many I did not know.

That the discussion had grown too controversial for so large a company became evident when one of the newcomers leaned across the table, and, flaming with anger, told me in a cold voice: "Believe me, Signore, you know nothing of us Italians or of our Italy."

There was nothing to be said, and if there had been he gave me no time to say it.

"You are English," said he, "therefore of the North. You dream in your fog of us in the sun here, and would deny us altogether the modem world. That you profess to dislike the modern world is nothing to us. You enjoy it. Why should not we? We have made a new Italy in order that we may possess all that you possess. The old Italy, your dream, we have broken in pieces - utterly, utterly. There is left of it not so much as, without invention, will fill a single book. The superstition and the religion that you love is of the past: it is gone; we have destroyed it.
