P l LODGE or THE SIGNORIA FLORENCE FLORE CE A D GE OA Genoais history is too long and complicated to describe here. As early as ships sailed in the Tyrrhenian Sea, that long Genoa has been a port, The discovery of a Greek ce- metery dating back to the Fourth Century B.C. proves that Hellas spread her civilising wings even here. Cities like Genoa are literally built on history. Wllen the Via Venti Settembrc was constructed 85 tombs were found under the site, They were full of Greek vases dating from 500 years before Christ. One of the tragedies of Genoa in the 15th Century was that she was unable to supply Columbus with the ships he demanded, Thus the riches of the New World poured into Spain instead of Genoa. Another great Genoese citizen, Mazzini, completed the modern history of Genoa by kindling the republican flame which assured the Ligurian Republic's final independence from France and Sardinia. FLORENCE, the capital of Tuscany, is another of Italy's cities whose history de- fies description in a short space. One might say that modern politics were born in Florence, first of the Guelfs and Ghi- JG bellines and then of Machiavelli. If Athens A . is the scat of man's ancient civilisation A K, 1 'i then Florence represents the world's mo- , s I dern civilisation. The world's poetry was :M 1 JE re-born in Florence when Dante wrote his A I I ' 15,32-. 'fl lx I iii Divine Comedy' there at the beginning f- X' ' ,i A7A H2 N ui 1-'w -.:.: of the 14th Century.
