About the Book

Excerpt: ...after his first archeological walk in Rome, "verily, it seems strange that after more than two thousand years have passed, all these monuments should still remain." "That is most true," replied Caesar, looking at him with his impassive air. "I understand why Rome is the real school for learning, integrally, both ancient and modern history."

Don Calixto was an easy traveller for his cicerone. He far preferred talking to being given explanations; Caesar had said to him: "Don Calixto, you understand everything, by intuition." And being thus reassured, Don Calixto kept uttering terrible absurdities. One day Don Calixto went to see the Pope, in evening clothes and with his abdomen covered with decorations, and he asked Caesar if a photographer couldn't take his picture in the act of leaving the carriage, so that the photograph would have Saint Peter's as a background. "Yes, I think so. Why not? The only thing will be that the photographer will charge you more." "I don't mind that. Could you arrange it for me?" "Yes, man." What Don Calixto desired was done. "How did
