The London sparrows were chirping on the skylight over my head, and I could faintly hear the Italian criers in the front street: "Latte!" "Spazzina!" "Erbaggi freschi!" As I dressed I listened for a sound from the adjoining room. All was quiet now. The poor restless ones were at last getting a little rest.
At night sometimes we saw from our balcony one of those freschi, which once formed the chief splendor of festive occasions in Venice, and are peculiar to the city, where alone their fine effects are possible. The fresco is a procession of boats with music and lights.
An account of the performance of "Berenice," composed by Domenico Freschi, at Padua, in 1680, dwarfs all our present ideas of spectacular splendor.
