Carlo Matteucci to Faraday   26 March 18411

Mio caro, mio buon Faraday. Da che avete bisogno di riposo, del dolce far niente degli Italiani, di un dolce clima, perchè non venite a passare sei mesi in Italia? Vi assicuro che la vostra salute verrebbe rinfrancata, e almeno il nostro dolce clima sarà buono a qualche cosa.

TRANSLATION

My dear, my good Faraday. Since you need rest, the sweet doing nothing of the Italians and a mild climate, why do you not come to spend six months in Italy? I assure you your health would be refreshed and at least our sweet climate will be good for something.

Date as given in Bianchi (1874), 91.
