In Italy they castle in various manners; the King and Rook being allowed a choice of all the intermediate squares, as well as those on which they originally rested. There is even one mode of castling, extant in Salvio, and other old writers, termed “alla Siciliana”, in which the King made the leap of the Knight. I was formerly of opinion, with Sarratt, that it would improve Chess to introduce the Italian method of Castling into this country.
