from An Irish peer on the continent (1801-1803) being a narrative of the tour of Stephen Moore, 2nd earl Mount Cashell


On entering Plaisance, we cross'd the Po and on entering the town the Equestrian Statues of Ranuccio Farnese and Alexander Farnese, particularly struck our attention. Plaisance was the theatre on which General Macdonald distinguished himself during the War. ... The fourth night we got to Parma, where we stay'd two days.
