Mary Berry in Naples - 23 January, 1784

from Diary of Mary Berry, 23 January 1784, page 79:

In the evening to the Academy. This is a great meeting, but the company are divided into so many rooms at play, that the music room is never too crowded; it is upon an easy, excellent, plan; nobody sitting in rows, even in the music room, but in little parties and circles, as they find it agreeable. Too much noise made to hear the music.
