Speranza
An Englishman writing from Padova 1608:
"beastly sodomy is rife here in Padova, as is in Roma, Napoli, Firenze, Bologna, Venezia, Ferrara, GENOVA, Parma not being excepted, nor yet the smallest village in Italy."
"A mostrous filthiness, and yet to them a pleasant pastime, MAKING SONGS and singing sonnets to the beauty and pleasure of their Bardassi, or buggered boys."
