Italy southward

Italy is not a great country for walkers; forbidding high walls close in dusty or dirty roads leading out of every city or even village, all view of the landscape to right and left is, as a rule, shut out.

Moreover, one feels that most Italians despise the traveller on foot as a person who cannot afford to travel in a carriage; they turn pitying eyes on the simply clad pedestrian wearing inelegant boots, not even yellow, and if the hiker by great luck finds some grassy knoll or hollow inviting him to rest and refreshment, so much the worse, he loses caste still further in Italian eyes that pass by.

Mother Earth is not a suitable place to recline if you can afford any kind of vehicle, even if drawn by a sore-basket, lame, and overburdened bit of horseflesh. This attitude is by no means so marked in the mountains, luckily, for the mountain folk are more or less of one family, wherever found. In Valtournanche, for instance, one saw little or none of this scornful attitude to pedestrian.

From Chatillon we had a few good walks. Going up to Breuil, at the back of the Matterhorn we made off eastward one day in, search of adventure, but with no great satisfaction.

After a time Himself (the author’s husband) went forward to explore, and I remember how very desolate I felt, left watching him become smaller and smaller and finally disappeared completely.

He returned by the same stony-hearted route, not having found anything likely to amuse us, and we set forth, along a high hillside, towards home, which was Chatillon for the time being. (from Over the Hills and far Away by Ada Galsworthy)
