"In the Via Santa Maria Antica and adjoining the church of that name is the private 

 o-raveyard of the Scaligeri. The space is tiny and the monuments large; they tower above 

 one's head until the winged helmets of the statues cut the sky like swallows; they are con- 

 ceived in sternest Gothic style, suiting the grim men whom they immortalize . . " (see 

 text, page 569).
