1796001121Rome: Presso I Lazzarini 1796. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. xii 502 pp. Full and rich history of Ariccia and surrounding towns on the outskirts of Rome to the Southeast of the City by Castel Gandolfo the Papal Summer Residence. Ariccia is one of the most ancient cities in Italy dating to at least the ninth century B.C. This history concentrates mostly on the seventeenth and eighteenth century when it was ruled by the powerful Savelli Chigi family which produced one pope Alexander VII and built a grand residence in the town that has been used many a time as a movie set such as in Visconti's "Il Gattopardo" "The Leopard". While it is over two millenia since the town yielded to Rome's preeminence as a city Ariccia continued to be the next most important city in Lazio for long stretches of history owing to its propitious location on the Via Appia the first way station on the road between Rome and Naples and its pleasant salubrious climate in contrast to malalial Rome made it a favored resort for the powerful of Rome in prior centuries. This copy of the history a model of municipal histories in its day is very good. There is some light and occasional foxing yet little that could be considered disconcerting. The exception would be the four places where a prior owner presses leaves which left a residue and in one instance may have created a tiny wormhole type of hole. However the small amount of loss has no effect on readability where it occurred. The vellum has an attractive mottled almost tiger striped design. Book is tight. Occasional light pencil notes a word or two in each case affecting a handful of pages. Still a very good copy. <br/><br/> Presso I Lazzarini hardcover books

He was it has been argued 'the maker of Europe'. The theme of this book is how power corrupts. Lloyd George's pecadilloes which more than once threatened his career his intrigues with Zaharoff and the building up of his political fund with which to hold the main parties to ransom are shown as influences in the process of corruption."

He served under Thomas Pattison with the Royal Artillery in Flanders in 1742 and was promoted second lieutenant on 1 April 1744. He was at the battle of Fontenoy on 11 May 1745 and became first lieutenant on 3 October 1745 captain-lieutenant on 24 March 1752 and captain on 1 October 1755. In February 1752 he went to Minorca and thence to Livorno. He was recorded in Capua on 1 April 1752. Instead of making the usual tour of Italy he visited the principal cities of Tuscany and after a cursory visit to Rome went to Naples. Then after a more lengthened stay in Rome he went to Loreto Bologna Venice Mantua Parma Modena and returned to Livorno whence he sailed for Genoa. From Genoa he went by sea to Villafranca and on by land to Marseilles. He died in 1759. An account of his Italian tour was published posthumously in July 1766 Travels through Italy; Containing New and Curious Observations on that Country but the work has been criticized as following closely J.
