Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Classical Tour Through Italy, Vol. 2: An; MDCCCII., Hæe Italia Diis Sacra, Hæ Gentes Ejus, Hæc Oppida Populorum, Plin; Nat; Hist; III. 20 Within this circumference, Modern Rome lies extended principally on the plain, and scattered thinly over the hills, bordered by villas, gardens, and vineyards. Its population amounted to one hundred and eighty, or perhaps two hundred thousand souls previous to the French invasion, which by empoverishing the country, and severing from the capital one of its richest provinces, is said to have diminished the number of inhabitants by twenty, or even thirty thousand. The streets are well built and well paved, narrower in general than those in London, and wider than those in Paris; but (as the houses are not too high) they are light and airy, often very long and straight, and not unfrequently terminated by an obelisk, a fountain, or a church. Such are the three streets which diverge from the Porta, or rather Piazza del Popolo; the Corso, anciently the Via Lata terminating at the foot of the Capitol; the Strada del Bahuino, ending in the Piazza de Espagna, and the Strada de Ripelta, anciently the Via Populi, leading to the Tiber; not to speak of the Strada Giulia, Strada delta Longara, and many others.
