Excerpt from A Holiday in Umbria: With an Account of Urbino and the Cortegiano of Castiglione This book is the result of two visits, in 1881 and 1888, made in happier days to a part of Italy little known to travelling Britons, but not inferior to any in historical associations and in beauty of nature and art. There are important Roman remains at Rimini, Fano, Ancona, andin the Passo del Furlo, near the scene of Hasdrubal's defeat which saved the Roman State. The architecture of the Middle Ages is represented by the churches of Ancona, Gubbio, and others, and the earlier and most interesting period of the Renaissance by Alberti's work at Rimini, and the ducal palaces of Urbino, Pesaro, and Gubbio.
