AURONZO AND VAL BUONA. iS5 comparison in point of insecurity with Portici, Torre del Greco, or any others of thè Vesuvian villages. Now thè road, which has been very bad all thè way from Cadore, slopes gradually down towards thè bed of thè torrent, passing within sight of Lorenzago to thè right, and under thè impending precipices of Monte Cornon to thè left. Mountain and village has each its legend. Lorenzago, picturesquely perched on one of thè lower slopes of Monte Cridola, claims to be thè

scene of thè martyrdom of Saint Florian, a popular Tyrolean saint, whose intercession is supposed to be of especial efficacy in cases of fire ; while Monte Cornon is said to derive its name from an incident in thè history of Cadore thus related by Mr. Gilbert “ Along thè slopes above this gorge, in thè war of 1509, a division of Maximilian’s troops was cautiously advancing, when thè notes of a horn (corno) broke suddenly from thè misty mountain side. It was but a casual herdsman sounding

, as is stili thè custom there at certain seasons, to warn off bears ; but supposing themselves to be attacked by thè Cadore people, panie seized thè invaders, and they fled thè way they carne, over thè Santa Croce pass to Sexten.”— Cadore , p. g2. The same rustie horn, sounded for thè same purpose, may be heard here on quiet autumn evenings to this day, whal time thè bears come prowling down to rob orchards in thè valley ; and it is remarkable that there are more bears in thè district about Monte Cornon
