Wednesday, Aug'st ye 14th. At 11 O'clock this Morning we reach' d Plazentia about 15 Miles from where we slept last Night.
The Inn crouded with People from Parma and the neighboring Country for many Miles There being a great Concourse hither to day on acc't of this days anniversary function of ye Madonna. It is said to be very magnificent & begins in the Evening between 9 & 10 O'clock.
We did not stay to see it, being almost satiated with seeing of functions & urgent to return to England. We observed however that every Body was dressed in their best Manner from the highest to ye lowest.
We proceeded on our Journey after dinner at 3 O'clock recrossed the Po a few Miles from Town in the same Manner as mentioned between Mantua and Parma above 100 People crossed at once just before we got to the ferry Boat or Stage, & we met crowds afterwards of Men & Women repairing to see ye function at Placentia.
