from Travels from Paris through Switzerland and Italy, in the years 1801 and 1802. By a native of Pennsylvania (1808) by Joseph Sansom


At Placentia began the Via AEmilia, which extended to Rimini on the Adriatic.
Here we met a train of six or seven coaches drawn, like our own, by mules, ornamented with towering collar-pieces, flaring with tinsel, and jingling with bells. They contained the travelling domestics of the new-made king of Etruria, returning to Spain by this circuitous route.
