. A stained glass tour in Italy. e. Far ofF to the rightare the lofty Apennines, and if it chances to bethe time of the spring showers, we shall see themountains crowned with late snow, for a rain atSan Miniato will mean snow on the northernhills. What a prospect lies before us, and butlittle changed since there looked down upon itMichael Angelo or Ghiberti or Benvenuto Cellini, or any other of the great Florentines who livedafter that burst of building that thrust into theair Brunelleschis cathedral dome, Santa Croce, andSanta Maria Novella. Over yonder on thoseheights of far Fiesole are the very gardens towhich Boccaccios gay and heartless companywithdrew from the plague-stricken town belowthem, and listened and laughed the awfiil hoursaway. They still smile at us across the valley ofthe Arno, but this memory puts a grimness inthe smile. San Miniato holds for us lovers of windowstwo edifices, both churches, entirely unlike eachother. The first to be reached on our upwardway is San Salvatore, sometimes called San 102. San Miniato Francesco al Monte. Along the sides of thenave are modest chapels above whose altars isa series of small rectangular windows of interest.Over the doorway in the south side is a pleasantbit of glazing, whose donor is disclosed by theappearance of the Peruzzi arms, the pears withthe leafy stems. We will already have noticedthose arms in Santa Croce, so enriched by thebenefactions of that family. Continuing upward we arrive at the old fortifi-cations of Michael Angelo, and passing throughtwo gates reach the summit and come out upona small paved space before the Church of SanMiniato al Monte. Its fac^ade is encrusted withwhite and black marble, and enlivened withmosaics. The pavement upon which we stand isalso of coloured marble, and within the church thispavement shows many quaint arabesques and figuresworked out in sharply contrasted black and white.The eastern end of the interior is divided intolower and upper portions, not unusual among ear
