Excerpt from Italian Castles and Country Seats There have been many book on Italy; many books there are about Italian villas, but the rare good fortune has been given to me, not only to see many of the most beautiful villas of Italy, but to be lavishly and comfortably entertained by their hospitable owners whom I am happy to be able to call my friends. My preparations for this present book have been a round of joyous happenings, and if my opinions of Italy and the Italians are enthusiastic, it is because I must write of a country as I see it, and of a people as I find them. Nor am I forced to write from even an outsider's view-point, for my hosts have not only given me freely of their hospitality, but of their friendship and confidence, allowing me to tell my friends and readers what I wish of a life they have generously allowed me to share in their beautiful country.
