Excerpt from The Life of Pope Leo XIII: Containing a Full and Authentic Account of the Illustrious Pontiff's Life and Work One of the first places visited was Carpineto, an ancient town of the Volscians, the Pope's birthplace. Carpineto is an hour's railway journey from Rome and three hours in a pre-historic dili gence, or stage of antiquated build. A visit was made to the quaint house where Gioacchino Vin cenzo Raffaello Luigi Pecci (pope Leo XIII) and his six brothers and sisters were born. No member of his immediate family survives him, but some of his nephews, bearing the name of Pecci, still live in the simple and quaint little town, and some of these were interviewed and photographed for this work.
