PIETRI DE FUSI, a town of Italy, in the province Principato Ulteriore, and the kingdom of Naples. It contains 4890 inhabitants, who grow some excellent wine.
PIETY is a virtue which denotes veneration for the Deity, and love and tenderness to our friends. This distinguished virtue, like many others, received amongst the Romans divine honours, and was made one of their gods. Aelius Glabrio first erected a temple to this divinity, which he built upon the spot on which a woman had fed with her own milk her aged father, who had been imprisoned by order of the senate, and deprived of all aliments.
