from Italy and Its Inhabitants: An Account of a Tour in that Country in 1816 and ... by Jacques-Augustin Galiffe, a Genevan historian and genealogist


We arrived at Piacenza on the 3d of August at eleven o'clock, an hour of the day by no means favourable for forming an estimate of its populousness: it was Sunday, however, - which ought to have made some amends for the hour; yet there was hardly a soul to be met with, in all its numerous streets. There are some good pictures in the cathedral and other churches.
