ITALY. Sanguinetto. "THERE are two little rivulets which run from the Gualandro into the lake. The traveller crosses the first of these at about a mile after he comes into the plain, and this divides the Tuscan from the Papal territories. The second, about a quarter of a mile farther on, is called 'the bloody rivulet'; and the peasants point out an open spot to the left between the 'Sanguinetto' and the hills, which, they say, was the principal scene of slaughter." - Hobhouse's Notes to Childe Harold. WE win BROOK OF SANGUINETTO. E win where least we care to strive, Old Hannibal, if now alive, Might sadly testify to this. He lost the Rome for which he came; Won for this little brook a name, Its mournful name of Sanguinetto. John Kenyon. |
