A Great Italian Journey From Lake Como to Venice
The writer recounts travel through Italy in August 1905, describing Lake Como adventures, Milan cathedral, Verona arena, Venice gondola rides, and Florence galleries. He notes heat, local commerce, and contrasts with American tourists, ending with a segue to Geneva and London while hinting at a tariff debate by Governor Cummins at a Chicago meeting.
