Italy has been, throughout his-
tory, the heart of the spiritual
and intellectual life of the West-
ern World. From the ancient
days of the Etruscan civilization
to the spreading of Christianity
and on to the Renaissance, its
art and culture have influenced
'mankin,
Thanks to its mild, healthy
climate and to the florious sun-
shine that warms its beautiful
cities, Italy has come to be a
land of contemplation. From the
Ligurian. Riviera to the Mar-
emma and the Tuscan pine-
woods, from the rocky cliffs of
Sorrento, Calabria and Sicily to
the Adriatic Riviera and the
Venetian Lagoons, Italy is sur-
rounded by the sea caressing
its shores through mysterious
and fantastic grottoes and along
infinite stretches of white, soft
sand.
Modern cities with flourishing
industries are heirs to a glor-
ious past. Italy is an ancient
land, but a young nation barely
one hundred years old and is
being constantly renewed and
reborn through the vicisitudes
of centuries.
Those who have visited Italy
carry home with them a wonder-
ful tapestry of memories; the
superb ruins of ancient Rome,
the remains of medieval palaces
and mystic cathedrals, the deli-
cate Renaissance madonnas and
Tiepolo skies, music of the 18th
century heard in luxurious
theatres and ancient Greek
drama performed in the classi-
cal amphitheatres of Syracuse,
Taormina, Pompeii and Ostia.
The temperament and charac-
ter of the Italian people match
this scenery. It is the essence of
this temperament that gives life
to the folklore with its charac-
teristic costume, picturesque
dances and inspired songs.
The shape of the Italian land
is that of a boot. At its toe lies
the Island of Sicily, while off
the Western coast we find the
Island of Sardinia. Besides these
two islands which are the larg-
est in the Mediterranean, Italy
possesses a number of smaller
islands. Italy's northern border
consists of the mighty Alps that
divide the country from France,
Switzerland, Austria and Yugo-
slavia. The second largest range
Of mountains, the Apennines,
stretches through the peninsula
and continues into Sicily. Italy
has a surface area of 119,764
square miles and its total coast-
line extends some 5,310 miles.
With a population of more
than 53 million, Italy is a coun-
try warmed by the waters of the
Meriterranean and protected by
the Alps, whose remarkable ve-
getation varies from pine for-
ests to oleanders, palms and
substropical flora, who boasts
the mighty giants of Mont Blanc
and the Matterhorn and the vol-
canoes of Mt. Etna and Mt. Ve-
suvius; the peaks and precipes
of Calabria and the tranquil
shores of Lakes Maggiore, Como
and Garda. From the Tyrrhenian
to the Adriatic and from the
Ligurian to the Ionian Seas,
Italy is a land of contrast and
beauty.
Rome
Eventually all roads lead to
Rome. Rome is the great shrine
for the history of mankind; all
the stages of our centuries of
development are here crowded
together in a relatively small
area, within the broad bounds
of a great modern city, capital
of Italy and of the Catholic
world. Around this solemn
Rome , . . a great art centre .
which moves all men to respect-
ful admiration, spreads contem-
porary workaday Rome, welcom-
ing the foreign guest with gentle
friendliness, offering him won-
derful parks, majestic tree-lined
streets and avenues, elegant
shops, luxurious hotels, gay cof-
fee bars in the open air, and
restaurants in which to linger
after a tasty evening meal.
Seasons for Travelling
All seasons are good for tra-
velling in Italy. From the flow-
ers of the Ligurian rivers to the
Alpine snows, from the golden
wheat fields of Apulia to the
autumn sunsets in Rome, there
is a never-ending succession of
lights and colors as the sky, the
sea, the isles and volcanoes, the
lakes and mountains offer an
ever-changing spectacle.
Interesting ancient usages,
customs and local folklore fes-
tivals still survive in presnt day
Italy, although with the passage
of time some part of this pic-
turesque legacy has been lost.
Even so, a pride in traditions
has kept much of it alive, and
a great deal has been preserved
almost unchanged in the rela-
tive isolation of the more in-
accessible and traditionalistic
regions of the country.
And so the ancient and pictur-
esque costumes, by now relegat-
ed in most countries to the
wardrobes of ancient families,
are still everyday wear in the
Val d'Aosta and in various plac-
es in Tridentine Venetia, in Ca-
dore, in Ciociaria in Lazio, in
the Abruzzi (there still survives
in Scanno a simple and very

great island are donned and par-

Popular religious enthusiasm
gives birth to a series of pro-
foundly significant sacred plays,
festivals and rites. Sometimes
the people repeat sacred plays
from medieval times, handed
down intact, and still living on
in this dramatic demonstration
of simple faith. Sometimes it
shows itself in outbursts of re-
ligious fervour and penitence
at some celebrated sanctuary,
or at those festivals in honor of
patron saints which transfigure
a whole countryside first with
religious rites and then with
jubilant feasting.
Italy, over and above every-
thing else, has a great wealth of
wines to offer. Nor must we for-
get Italian apertifs, blended
principally over a base of the
world-famous Piedmont ver-
mouth; dessert wines such as
Marsala and Malyasia from Sic-
ily; and sparkling wines from
Piedmont, Venetia, Tuscany and
the islands. Italy also has excel-
lent beers and a great variety
of effervescent mineral water.
The cuisine in the majority of
hotels is good . . . in some it
it famous. The tourist who
would like to sample all kinds of
Italian cooking should go not
only to the typical restaurants,
numerous in every town, and
which always advertise to which
region their cuisine belongs,
(Tuscany, Bologna, Emile, Rome,
Naples, etc.), but also the mod-
est trattorie which are more
homelike and where they are
proud to have the foreigner
taste their specialties. And fin-
ally he must choose, weather
permitting, restaurants where
he can eat out-of-doors. The
hours passed under some per-
gola or on some sunlit terrace
bright with colored curtains and
sun umbrellas, gazing out at un-
forgetable scenery and tasting
the exquisite fruits of earth and
sea, can be one of the most
beautiful memories of Italy.
General audiences with His
Holiness are usually held once
a week on Wednesdays in Vati-
can City, and in summer at Cas-
tel Gandolfo. To participate in
a general audience, one must
apply to the office of the Maes-
tro di Camera di Sua Santita at
the Vatican. Catholics are re-
quested to have a letter of in-
troduction from their parish
priest. For this audience women
should dress modestly. It is cus-
tomary for a woman to have her
arms and head covered. Dark or
subdued colors are requested;
please avoid flamboyant dress.
Men are asked to wear a tie
and jacket. A dark suit and con-
servative tie would be most suit-
able.
Whenever you're planning a
trip to Italy, this year or next,
spring, summer, fall or winter,
Italy is waiting for you with a
smiling welcome!
