Advertisements throughout. Automobile Club di Milano -- at head of front cover and title page. Bookplate on front fixed endpaper of poet Leolyn Louise Everett. Leolyn Louise Everett Spelman (1888-1971) and her husband, composer Timothy Mather Spelman, spent much of their time in Italy, particularly in Florence. This guide is entirely Italian and heavily illustrated, with many advertisements. An interesting guide to the Umbrian region of Italy in the 1920s, even without the maps, which some unkind person has removed.
