Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wheat Princess
IF you leave the city by the Porta Maggiore and take the Via Prenestina, which leads east into the Sabine hills, at some thirty-six kilometers' distance from Rome you will pass on your left a gray-walled village climbing up the hillside. This is Palestrina, the old Roman Pra neste; and a short distance beyond - also on the left - you will find branching off from the straight Roman high way a steep mountain road, which, if you stick to it long enough, will take you, after many windings, to Caste] Madama and Tivoli.
