From Lo Spirito folletto, Milan, 1873:
Lo Spirito Folletto, in an extraordinary session of its enlightened editorial staff, made the following provisions:
Since cholera, in spite of the stubbornness of that genius… of man that is [Italian Prime Minister] Lanza, is very contagious, and that instead of getting there from Petrea Arabia, it comes from the bad quality of the food, the staff recommends… 1. to oversee the not-at-all civil baptisms of milk and wine…
- to supervise the fish market, whose sweet miasmas attract citizens to the delights in the square of San Stefano.
