The MOuntaineers of Italy.


In the archiepiscopal archives of Luc-
ca is document of the tenth century
enumerating a large proportion of the
mountain villages in that district
by the names they will bear, thus estab-
fishing their existence for trife of 900
years, and leaving the Imagination free
to carry it still further back in the past.
Roman origin is ascribed to many, and,
in the Appenine Of Pistoia especially, the
names seem sufficiently obvious deriva-
tives from the Latin originals-as Rio
Flaminio, Vellano, from Forum Avell-
anum; Piteglio, Pupiglio, and Gavinana,
from the Petilian, P0pilian. and Cabin
ian families. Most Of the churches date
from the ninth or tenth century, and are
in many cases interesting specimens of
old Lombard architecture, attributed
to wandering brothers of the builder
monks of Como. With such a claim to
respectability as is given by an antiquity
of eight or nine centuries, these little
communities may not be considered un-
worthy of closer inspection, that we
may see how their inhabitants, living
amid surroundings little, if at all,
changed since the Middle Ages, are
affected by the altered conditions of the
rest of the world. Following, then, the
great highway, which after leaving the
rich plain of Lucca, penetrates by the
Valleys of the Serchio and Lima, into
the heart sf the Apprentices, we find our
selves in country widely different in
culture and aspect from the lowlands of
Italy, yet equally unlike any mountain
district we are acquainted with elsewhere.
For the first few miles the road passes
some scattered villages, or houses of en-
tertainment of the poorest class, but
after while it enters sylvan solitude,
where the chestnut takes the place of all
other cultivation, and human habitations
disappear from the scene. No lordly
villas among the trees bespeak the pres
ence of landed gentry or resident pro-
prietors, for here the peasant is lord of
