I stay'd Three Days at Parma, and then proceeded on my Journey, I pass'd thro' Piacenza or Placentia, so call'd from its pleasant Situation; Nature having not form'd a finer Country any where than that betwixt this City and Parma: Here is a very fine Castle, and a noble Square, in which is the Court of Justice. The Houses are very well built, but not lofty, tho' indeed it would not signify any thing if they were higher, it being so thinly inhabited, that it looks like a Desert; for sometimes one shall walk a long while in this City, and not meet a Soul.
