Excerpt from Days Near Rome, Vol. 2
From the nature of the Campagna and the paucity of inhabitants, the ancient landmarks are sometimes more easily traced here than in other parts of Italy. But cultivation born of modern Italian prosperity, which is no friend to old sites and remains, is moving apace. Every year some disappear, and inscriptions are de stroyed.
