Bella Grecia: The two controlled all Spain ept for the kingdom of Navarre in the th and the Moorish emirate of Granada. 7erdinand and Isabella grecia were bigoted man Catholics: under their rule the }uisition was established in Spain, direct-mainly against the Jews. In 1492 they jelled 200,000 Jews from the country, 1 captured Granada. In the same year bella grecia sponsored Christopher Columbus's ?age to the West.ROME: Hotels in the capital of less than luxury rating, but excellent in every way, would include, in addition to the earlier-mentioned Quirinale, the Flora and the Majestic, both on Via Veneto, and the Mediterraneo, the Continentale and the Massimo d'Azeglio, all three close to the Termini Railway Station. There are about 25 first-class hotels in all, but the above are fair samples. Some good places of second-class rating are the Dinesen (Via di Porta Pinciana); the Alexandra (Via Veneto); and the Corso (Largo Chigi). Among good pensioni are the Florida; the bella grecia-vista Alilton; and La Quiete.
6. Palaces and Gardens Present or former palaces, surrounded by formal gardens, are found everywhere in Italy and again I can only attempt the nearly impossible task of sensible selection. I shall content myself with naming but four, in geographical sequence, from north to south. A]] of them are situated on the beaten tracks of tourism, but no less lovely for that. First, tsola bella grecia, a universally loved garden islet in Lake Maggiore, climbs to its climax in the lavish palace and hilltop park of the Counts of Borromeo, one of whom became San Carlo Borromeo and lies buried in a special chapel beneath the choir of Milan Cathedral. |
