A party of visitors, accompanied by inexperienced guides, and contrary to the advice of Professor Palmieri, insisted on ascending to the place from which the lava issued. At half-past three on the morning of the 26th they were in the Atria del Cavallo, when the Vesuvian cone was rent in a north-west direction and a copious torrent of lava issued forth.
And then there came the plots of Jules Verne's stories and marvellous narrations about l' uomo cavallo, l' uomo volante, l' uomo pesce.
Some time afterwards, about a year before the Montgolfiers commenced their experiments which we have already described, Tiberius Cavallo, an Italian chemist, succeeded in making, with hydrogen gas, soap-bubbles which rose in the air. Previous to this he had experimented with bladders and paper bags; but the bladders he found too heavy, and the paper too porous.
The models described above were taken by Baccio to the garden of Cardinal Ridolfi at S. Agata on Monte Cavallo, where his lordship was entertaining Cibo, Salviati, and Messer Baldassarre da Pescia to dinner, they having assembled together there in order to settle all that was necessary in the matter of the tombs.
We fancy a field of battle before us, where time has fought with genius; and these mutilated limbs attest its victory, and our losses. After leaving the Vatican, Corinne conducted him to the Colossi of Mount Cavallo; these two statues represent, as it is said, Castor and Pollux. Each of the two heroes is taming with one hand a fiery steed.
As he was "doing" Florence in about three days, he never found me out. The next I heard of him he was "doing" Rome. "Cavallo"! he roared "Portéz me cavallo!" "Cavallo!" repeated the waiter, with the characteristic Italian shrug. Then followed more execrable Italian, and the waiter brought him something which elicited "Non volo! non volo!" I liked my new quarters very much.
"All right, José, then listen: Are there any horses here?" The old man's eyes held a gleam of intelligence. "Cavallo, señor. One, two, t'ree horse over heel." "Oh, over the hill, are they?" said Jack to himself, then aloud: "You come and show them to me." "Mocho easy to find," protested the Mexican. Jack smiled to himself. He had been right, then. The old man was trying to trick him.
Now amongst the days which I thus passed in that Court there was a Sunday on which I went to see Messer Lactancio Tolomei, as others did; it was he, with the assistance of Messer Blosio, the Pope’s secretary, who gave me the friendship of Michael Angelo. But finding in his house a message that he was at Monte Cavallo, in the church of St.
And whereas Master Knorr could give him tidings of other criminal deeds committed by Giustiniani, my new lover had forthwith written a petition of accusation to the Council at Venice, and forthwith Marino Cavallo, in his rights as procurator of Saint Mark, had commanded the Consul and his wife to depart for Venice and present themselves before the Collegium of the Pregadi, which hath the direction of the Consuls beyond seas.
It was one o'clock before all the company were assembled, and I left them at three, still dreaming over their coffee and card-tables. Trieze is their favourite game: uno, due, tre, quatro, cinque, fante, cavallo are eternally repeated; the apartments echoed no other sound.
