In the evening the French Minister’s fête for the birth of the Duke of Bordeaux. He had the Quays of the Arno illuminated on both sides, from the Pont de la Caraca to the Pont de Trinita, by posts supporting three lamps, all white, in the form of a lily; and upon the river four large boats, illuminated in the same manner, rowing about two bands of music. All this produced a charming effect; but the exterior of the fête was more brilliant than the interior. |
