Sixtus V. Constructed a lateral canal, nearly parallel to the Appian Way, which received the waters of the western part of the marshes, and carried them to the common estuary of Badi- no. The most important improvements, however, were made by Pius VI. , and the work of effectual draining was very nearly completed, when the low state of the papal treasury, and the confusion resulting from the French revolutionary invasion, caused for a time a complete interruption. At the present day, all that h...as been done is to maintain the drainage in the state in which Pius VI. Left it, by keeping the canals clear and the dikes in repair. The greater part of the plain is covered with rich pastures, in which are fed numerous herds of horned cattle, and other parts of it are sown with rice, wheat, and Indian corn, and afford rich crops. In the spring, before the great heats render the at mosphere unwholesome, it has the appearance of a most delightful region. But, except the post-stations along the high road, and some scattered huts here and there, there is no permanent population throughout the whole of the plain.
