MONTE SENARIO. 
335 
As the Grand Duke Francis preferred Pratolino to Cafag- 
giolo, we hear no more of this favourite country seat of the first 
Cosimo, though it is still kept in good preservation, and was 
only sold a few years ago by the Crown to the Prince Borghese. 
Monte Senario is celebrated for the beauty of its wild flowers, 
especially for its sweet-scented violets, as well as the snowdrops 
which whiten the ground in early spring. It also produces 
many medicinal herbs and a variety of fruits.
