Krows Write
Of Visits to
Italian Cities
(Editor's note: This is the
third letter received by The
Mail Tribune from Mr. and
Mrs. Melvin A. Krows, 1215
East Main street, while they
are touring Europe. This let
ter was mailed from Rome,
Italy.)
We arrived here yesterday
after a deluxe bus trip from
Florence via Perugia and Assisi,
the noted hill cities of Italy. Im
possible appearing masses of
buildings built practically on
tops pf mountains 16 to 18 cen
turies. Very much alive with
business and farming activities.
Former Roman strongholds and
later occupied by Knights of
Malta. All of northern Italy is
highly cultivated and very pro
ductive. Heavy fruit producers,
grapes, pears, prunes, apples,
berries and all kinds of grain.
Rome is a beehive of humans
all on their busy way by all
means of transportation. We did
not realize that Europeans also
tour. The city seems packed
with super tourist buses from as
far away as Sweden. The city is
congested by narrow crooked
streets, some only five feet wide.
Traffic moves in all directions
without hesitation and all with
out headlights after dark.
Four hundred churches one
American Protestant and one
Jewish. It is utterly impossible
to describe the art, statuary,
paintaings, mosaics, fountains.
The Roman ruins are spectacu
lar but not as extensive as we
anticipated, due to destruction
centuries past for building mate
rials for other buildings.
Today we visited the Vatican
museum and St. Peters cathe
dral, largest in the world. We
anticipated it would be dark
and gloomy but due to constant
alterations it seems to be bright
and clean. We witnessed the ap
pearance of the Pope at 12 noon
in an open upper window of his
living quarters.
The voice over the loud
speaker giving the blessing was
no doubt recorded and many
liberal minded Catholics think
that the person appearing is a
"standin." However, many thou
sand devoted members accepted
the appearance with all sorts of
reactions, holding up handker
chiefs, rosaries, etc., to receive
the blessing.
We are quartered in a fine ho
tel, beautifully furnished. The
lobbies and parlors are art gal
leries in themselves. The food is
not as good as Milan, Venice or
Florence and prices are 100 per
cent higher. With all this luxury
there is no soap, one bath to a
floor and all toilets are "sex
less." We leave tomorrow for Na
ples, Pompeii and the Sorrento
followed by Pisa, Genoa and
Nice, as we go north toward
France.
The weather is good, only rain
one since arrival in Europe. To
night's dinner at Alfredo's.
