...tomorrow. Painter Raphael's fame has never been any more gravely beclouded than was his princely young life, which, beginning at the ducal court of Urbino where his painter-father enjoyed generous patronage, was strewn with the gold of rulers and the blandishments of their women, in Perugia, Florence, Rome. One of his mistresses became "Poetry" in the Vatican; another, the Sistine Madonna...
...HILL OF HAPPINESS- George N. Bhuster-Appleton ($1.75), The Franciscan monastery of these quaint tales might as well be in Renaissance Perugia as where it is in fact, modern California.

Last week at Perugia the inference to be drawn from this ancient History was stark and plain. What was a Roman lake may become an Italian mill pond. While II Duce spoke, many a Perugian tingled with imperial dreams, forgot that the immediate occasion for ecstasy was the dedication by Premier Mussolini of a new college intended for foreign students at the ancient University of Perugia...
