What reading level is Italian Cities volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To these festivals came not only belted knights with their squires and varlets, their horses, hawks, and hounds, but noble ladies with their pages and bower-maidens ; and every one who could sing a song or tell a story, poet and musician, buffoon and juggler, found a warm welcome, free quarters, and generous largesse.
It was the busy idleness of these " house-parties " which Folgore described in his year of sonnets. For these past-masters in the art of delicate living, every season had its spec...ial diversion, every day its pleasure-party, every evening its revel. In January the " joyous companions " were installed in com- fortable chambers, warmed by roaring fires, and lighted by many torches, where they shook the dice or leaned over the chess-board; while for exercise they snowballed the girls whom they met in their walks. February found them hunting boar and wild goat, returning at night to mulled wine and part- songs before the kitchen fire. In March the fishing season began ; the painted boats skimmed over the lakes, and the larger craft were made ready for rough 105 ITALIAN CITIES weather ; eels, lampreys, and sturgeon were caught, and no priests nor friars were invited to eat them.
