Picture No 10991349
Date 1904
Description Monastery, Vallombrosa, Tuscany, Italy
Details

SHOULD you be in Florence in the summer, visit Vallombrosa, one of the greatest natural curiosities in Tuscany, though Milton mentions only an ordinary circumstance, that of the fall of the leaves in autumn. You will be astonished the whole way at the boldness of the scenery : - and not least, the mountain itself which looks proudly down on all that surrounds it. San Giovanni Gualberto founded the convent in the midst of woods on top of the Appenines, inhabited by wolves and bears..
