Its citizens walk about with the cheerful, active air of men who have something to do and to enjoy, and not with the listless, desponding, heart-sick look which marks the inhabitants of the other States of Italy.

There should be no torture there should be instant death. No longer should the defiler of the temple pollute the sight of the lord god almighty.
