In Roman times Florence was a 'colonia'. When this 'colonia' was planted is very doubtful. The Centro of Florence, as we see it to-day, is very modern. It was, indeed, laid out a generation ago by Italian architects who designed the broad streets crossing at right angles which form its characteristic. But this 'Haussmannization' revived, consciously or unconsciously, an old arrangement.
In order that the reader may have an idea of the Tusayan pueblos at the time mentioned, an account of them from a little-known description by Morfi in 1782 is introduced: Morfi's account of the Tusayan pueblos Tanos Es pueblo regular con un plaza en el centro, y un formacion de calles. Tendrá 110 familias.
They were not Bolsheviks were, in fact, typical non-politicals. They were pleased with what the Centro Textile was doing, and said that more encouragement was given to research than ever formerly. But they were very despondent about the economic position.
Finally, it occurred to me to go and see the Conde de Romanones, who had just been appointed Alcalde del Centro, having jurisdiction over the district. When I entered his office, Romanones appeared to be in a jovial frame of mind. He wore a flower in his button-hole. Two persons were with him, one of whom was no other than the Secretary of the Board, my enemy.
From the "centro" the nerve-center of the "torpid State," with two well-kept plazas, the plateresque cathedral of a pinkish stone worn faint and spotted with time, and the "seat of the powers of the State," all on the summit of a knoll the entire town slopes gently down and quickly fades away into dirty, half-cobbled suburbs, brown and treeless, overrun with ragged, dust-tinted inhabitants, every street seeming to bring up against the low surrounding range.
Sang Huin's backpack felt increasingly heavy and so he obtained a motel room in "Centro" T.J. It had a barren mattress without sheets or blankets. The window was nailed shut and there was no ventilation outside of what came around the cracks of the door and a draft that swept through a crack in the wall. There was no dresser and no furniture at all beyond a wooden chair.
The cause of my brother's appearance was to advise me that the Alcaldia del Centro, or Town Council of the Central District, had given notice to the effect that if I did not present myself for the draft, I was to be declared in default.
"Nothing is here for tears; nothing to wail Or knock the breast; no weakness or contempt." And I found him less that One with the grand tragic visage, whose words so often quiver with unshed tears, who went forth upon his journey .... pei dolci pomi Promessi a me per lo verace Duca; Ma fino al centro pria convien ch'io tomi: E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle,
No podemos parar el movimiento de los astros y no podemos parar igualmente ninguno de esos movimientos morales que gravitan con incontrastable fuerza hacia su centro de atracción: la Justicia.
Some of these are based on a regional plan, that is, the Centro de Asturianos is composed of those who come from the Spanish province of Asturia, and those from other regions have their societies. There is also a general society of "dependientes."
