Giovanni e Paol INTRODUCTION. 1.-USEFUL INFORMATION. ** BRADSHAW'S CONTINENTAL RAILWAY GUIDE (published monthly, at 59, Fleet Street, London,) gives the latest particulars respecting Passports, Hotels, Chaplains, Medical Men, Bankers, Population, Railways, Steamers, and other matters which are liable to change. It is so indispensable à Companion for Visitors to every part of the Continent, that in the course of the following remarks we shall take it for granted that the reader has that useful work in his hands, and shall therefore make frequent reference to its contents in order to avoid repetition here. Passports.-See Introduction to Bradshaw's Continental Guide, for all the necessary directions on this head. Our agents, W. J. Adams & Sons, of 59, Fleet Street, London, will undertake to procure the Passport, with its visas. It is always useful, and is in fact a stranger's card of introduction to all the official world on the continent. Money.-Circular notes for £5 and £10, payable at the principal towns, may be obtained in London (see Introduction to Bradshaw's Continental Guide). English coin should always be changed for the current coin of the country, at the money changer's (cambia moneta). For a visitor constantly moving about, the expenses may average 16s. to 20s. a day; including travelling, living, and sight-seeing. Sovereigns can be exchanged for paper at 26 lire. In Italy, Napoleons pass, worth 20f., or 16s.; and the equivalent for a franc in Italy, is the "lira " (pl. lire), or "lira Italiana," worth 9 d., now universally known as "lira" only, though sometimes called "franco," and divided into 100 "centesimi," or centimes. nuova The currency of Italy is now uniform for the whole kingdom. Bank notes are issued for 1,000 lire, 500, 250, 100, 50, 20, and 5 lire. Those for 2 lire, 1 lira, and half a lira have been called in to be exchanged for silver, and are now rarely met with. Bronze pieces of 1, 2, 5, and 10 centesime (or centi) are coined; 1c. is worth about half a farthing; the 5c. piece is called a "soldo," and prices are not unfrequently quoted in soldi, just as in France they are often stated in sous. Silver pieces of 5 and 2 lire, and 1 lira, and 50c. and 20c. Gold pieces of 100, 80, 50, 20, 10, and 5 lire. (See the Money Table in Bradshaw's Continental Guide.) Soiled or torn notes should be declined, and no notes should be taken out of Italy. |
