What reading level is Byways in Southern Tuscany book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
198 BYWAYS IN SOUTHERN TUSCANY The Abate in his story describes how in the following century the towns in the neighborhood of Torrita had a sudden access of civic activity and fell to cleansing houses and streets and constructing new buildings and monu- ments, through which they counted on acquiring fame and the homage of their posterity. Unhappily in the midst of the peaceful days Torrita was enjoying at this time there came a renewal of the plague which so frequently scourged Italy in those y...ears, spreading consternation through the region. The Abate who is no friend of new- fangled remedies tells us that fortunately for the people they knew of no cure but that of supplicating the mercy of heaven, and having implored the intercession of the Virgin, presently the plague subsided. In gratitude for this com- passionate interposition they built a temple to their de- liverer, dedicating it to the Madonna of the Snows.
Torrita claims the equivocal honor of having been the birthplace of Ghino di Tacco, the powerful outlaw and bandit celebrated in Boccaccio's second story of the last day.
