PALLANZA 
A SUMMER TRIP TO NORTHERN ITALY 
By the Countess De La Ware 
With Photographs Taken by the Author 
/ I 'HOUGH there is a very prevalent idea 
that winter and springtime in Italy are 
delicious seasons, I can assure any who think 
of spending a holiday in Bella Italia during 
those months that this is a great delusion; 
for in Italy, as in other countries, all nature 
sleeps till the lovely days of summer. 
Then, as if by magic art, everything at the 
same moment hursts out into full life; not 
with the faltering steps of our more northern 
climes, now backward and again forward, 
but flowers and shrubs blossom and bloom
