The trade of Rome prospered by this circulation of foreign money.
The heats of summer drove away foreigners as well as natives; but they never went far.

Naples, Florence, or Venice offered them agreeable quarters till the return of the winter season.

And they had excellent reasons for returning to Rome, which is the only city in the world in which one has never seen everything.

Some of them so entirely forgot their own countries, that death overtook them between the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza de Venizia.

If any exiled themselves to their native land, they did it in sheer self-defence, when their pockets were empty.
