THE VIA RIPETTA.

From the Piazza del Popolo the line of the Ripetta runs between the

Corso and the Tiber. In the house at the corner lived Ciceruacchio. A

short way down is the Quay of the Ripetta, built in 1707 by Clement

XI., and partly destroyed by the modern iron bridge, over which is a

direct walk to S. Peter's, the site of the fields which formerly

belonged to Cincinnatus (Livy, iii. 26).
