Etna erupting beyond' (2) Literature: Goethe's Italian Journey,'The great feast of St. Peter and St. Paul's has come at last.Yesterday we saw the illuminated dome and the fireworks of Castel Sant'Angelo. The illuminations are spectacular, like a scene from fairyland; one can hardly believe one's eyes......a spectacle has to be really grand before I can enjoy it......and this last one is certainly among the greatest. To see the colonnade, the church, and above all the dome, first outline in fire and, after an hour, becoming one glowing mass, is a unique and glorious experience.' £800-1,200
