'' Twelve Theatres were formerly open at Flo- rence during the Carnival ; they are now re- duced to six ; a number, one might think, more than sufficient for the number of inhabitants, and yet it frequently happens that all are full. I have nothing to remark of either of them, except that the boxes are dark. The Florentines never use lights, partly to be more at their ease, and pardy out of economy. It is at the theatre you see the natural disposition of the people. They are lively — animated —... awake to every impres- TOL, I, $ sion. 25S sion. When a new play pleases, and the curtain drops, they not only call for the Author, but all the principal Actors are made to pass over the stage to receive their share of the applause. If an lago, or some such villain, be among them, he is sure to be received with groans and hisses ; a circumstance which does as much honor to their own sentiments, as to the ability of the actor. The Comedy I saw last night is founded on a fact of such extraordinary circumstances as could not be credited, were it not authenticated by the best historians of that time.
