Quaint Italian Town
: Lures Many. Americans

There is a special lure for the Amer
lean tourist in the quaint lowered town
of San Ginignano, lying between Sienna
and Florence. Some recently discovered
frescoes in the podesta's (mayor's) room
of the venerable city hall bear the coat
of-arms of Americas Vespuccius, who
was once podesta there.
It is TO Americas Vespuccius that the
American Continent owes its name He
wrote book about the newly discovered
land and 1t began TO be called "Ameri-

memorated by adoption of his name for
a South American nation, the Federal
District of the United States and sev-
eral cities. but the larger glory Is that
Of the Florentine geograpiler and ex-
plorer, Americas Vespuccius.
San Gimignano's leading families
hated one another so intensely during
the Middle Ages and Renaissance that
civic peace was possible only with a
foreign podesta, or mayor. The rule
was that the podesta must come from
at least 30 miles distance For several
years prior to the discovery of America,
Americas Vespuccius held the delicate
post of podesta of San Gimignano. He
put his coat-of-arms--shield with wasps

on the wall of the room In which he
lived.
For centuries it was covered over, but
few years ago it and other decorations
of more Rabelaisian character were
discovered. They may be seen by .he
visitor who expresses interest In them
to very intelligent custodian at the
city hall.

tides of political parties In France can
easily and safely be measured. When
the Left parties are victorious against
