CIVITA VECCHIA.
[chap. XXX.
the haunt of the "wild boar and roe-buck.8 Corneto is so
easy of access, the thirteen miles from Civita Vecchia are
so rapidly accomplished, that the traveller who enters the
Papal State by that port, should make a point of visiting
the painted tombs of the Montarozzi, which will open to
him clearer and more comprehensive views of the early
civilization of Italy than he can derive on any other site,
and which form an excellent introduction to the works of
ancient art in Rome.
8 About half-way, or before reaching
Le Mole, a little to the right of the road,
is a spot called Piano d'Organo, where
are said to be tombs and fragments of
ancient walling ; but I have had no
opportunity of verifying this report.
