Extract

The monument and tomb of a Vestal Virgin have recently been brought to light at Tivoli through a small landslide caused by heavy rain, on the edge of the lake formed in the bed of the Anio above the great waterfall. They lie between the river and the ancient Via Valeria, within a stone's throw of the railway station, and are about a quarter of a mile from the temple of Vesta, which crowns the rock of the citadel overlooking the Fall, and is perhaps the most beautiful and romantic of all the beautiful ruins of Italy.
