“To be honest,” remarked Lord Scott with dry humor when we left Villa La Pietra, -“to be honest, I passed no single room where I would simply feel comfortable after a long day's labors.” However, the British Lord of Appeal in Ordinary thinks highly of the arts, certainly no less than his colleagues from Washington, Paris, Rome, Karlsruhe and Luxemburg with whom he explored the collections at La Pietra on this midsummer afternoon. But the wealth and variety of the artworks assembled during the course of the last century by English eccentrics and their assemblage according to fairly personal esthetic criteria relieve the visitor barely for a moment of concentrated observation, requiring permanent attention – and considerate behavior in the midst of irreplaceable treasures.
