From Lo Spirito folletto, Milan, 1873:
- to review and throw in the channel all the adulterated wines of the few, but dishonest brewers…
…for whom it would be good in this heat to chastise them by imposing the transport of the monolith of San Ambrogio to Piazza del Duomo and back again.
- A commission will be appointed to oversee and prevent the sale of fruit. The varieties will be treated with the greatest concern.
The Ciocchin, undertaker of all the horses of the Milanese citizenry, must have the utmost respect for the dead beasts in his care!!
