[102] That Perugia had great Raphaels not very long ago everyone knows. The exquisite Madonna del Libro is now in S. Petersburg, and the British nation paid a memorable sum for the Ansidei Madonna which used to hang in S. Fiorenzo. [103] It will perhaps be objected by some readers that the above pages contain too few facts and dates about the painters of the Umbrian school and the manner in which they were influenced by the Florentines. For these, we add the following list of authorities whose works contain full store of information on the subject: Crowe & Cavalcaselle--_History of Painting in Italy_, vol. iii. Alinda Brunamonti--_Pietro Perugino e l'Arte Umbra._ Angelo Lupatelli--_Storia della Pittura in Perugia_ and _Pinacoteca Vannucci_. Bernhard Berenson--_The Central Painters of the Renaissance._ [104] The Museum is kept in the upper story of the University at Perugia, and a delightful street, or rather aqueduct, called the Via Appia, leads down to it from the back of the Canonica. [105] At first these collections were kept in their owners' private palaces, later on they sold or gave them to their native town. Early in this century the objects thus collected were moved from their original home in the Palazzo Pubblico, and placed in the corridors and upper storey of the university. Thanks to the indefatigable care and energy of such men as Vermiglioli and Conestabile, who devoted their lives to the study, explanation, and history of these relics, we now have a splendid answer to many of our questions, both in the carefully arranged collection of the University and in the books concerning them. [106] In our quotation from M. Lefèvre's work (see p. 268) we find what is at least a very plausible explanation of this dearth of their language. [107] Send a card through Madame Brufani, Grand Hotel, or through the custodes at the University Museum. [108] The discovery was a great point for students, and everybody will be glad to hear that the unconscious discoverer did not suffer through it, but lived to plough the surface of the land, the caverns of which antiquarians from distant countries hurried at once to investigate. [109] For a full description of the Tomb of the Volumnii, see Gio. Battista Vermiglioli's work: _Il Sepolcro dei Volumni_. Vermiglioli has made the most elaborate investigations, and transcribes the inscription on the door post thus: Arnth: larth: Velimna: Aruneal: Thvsiur: Svthi: avil: thece: which he translates after infinite labour, to mean roughly Aruns Lars Volumnius (son of) Arunia or Aronia dedicated (the monument, and ordered) the annual sacrifices.
