The new edition of Gli Alberghi in Italia, 1930 (Italian

State Railways Office, 16 Waterloo Place, S.W.1, Is.) gives a much more complete list of hotels and their tariffs for the use of travellers in Italy. It is interesting to note that hotels are under obligation, apparently to the Government, to keep to the prices quoted in this annual, and it will be seen that at most first-class hotels in Italy one can stay for less than £1 per day, while in many excellent family hotels the terms are less than 10s. per day.
