As we came down, lorry loads of Italian troops passed us going up, Alpini, Bersaglieri, Arditi and men of the 152nd Infantry Regiment. They cheered us wildly as they passed, waving their caps and crying, "Avanti! Avanti! Viva l'Inghilterra! Viva gli Alleati!"
When I first began to open my eyes, it was with so perplexed, so weak and dead a sight, that I could yet distinguish nothing but only discern the light: "Come quel ch'or apre, or'chiude Gli occhi, mezzo tra'l sonno e l'esser desto." Tasso, Gierus. As to the functions of the soul, they advanced with the same pace and measure with those of the body.
[Footnote 1: Sagredo, who had lately arrived as ambassador extraordinary, thus describes the power of Cromwell: "Non fa caro del nome, gli basta possedere l'autorit
Standing inside the sacristy, it seems impossible that six statue-portraits and six river-gods on anything like a grand scale could have been crowded into the space, especially when we remember that there was to be an altar, with other objects described as ornaments "gli altri ornamenti."

Truly it is a maxim well proven by time:—Napoli fa gli peccati, e Torre gli paga.
The attempts at romantic drama have always failed in Italy; whereas in Spain, on the contrary, all endeavours to model the theatre according to the rules of the ancients, and latterly of the French, have from the difference of national taste uniformly been abortive. We have a comedy of Tasso's, Gli Intrichi d'Amore, which ought rather to be called a lengthy romance in the form of dialogue.

About one o'clock we pass the situation of ancient Carthage, but saw no ruins, though such are said to exist. A good deal of talk about two ancient lakes called ; I knew the name, but little more. We passed in the evening two rocky islands, or skerries, rising straight out of the water, called Gli Fratelli or The Brothers. November 20.
