Excerpt from The World's Famous Places and Peoples, Vol. 1 of 2: Florence
Rome, notwithstanding the Barbarian invasion, the schism, and the exile of the Papacy, still ret 'ined the recollection of her glorious past, brought even more vividly before her by the superb monuments which had withstood the ravages of time and of man. But even Rome, like the rest of Italy, acknowledged the superiority of Florence comparable to Athens itself, and all the cities of Italy did homage to her genius.
