a city and archbishop's see of Italy, and capital of a republic of the same name, is built on a strand near the sea, and rises gradually to the top of a hill; the houses, which are lofty and well built, rising like the seats of a theatre, afford a fine prospect at sea. The harbour is large and deep, and the principal street, from one end to the other, resembles a double row of palaces: E. long. 9° 30', and N. lat. 44° 30'.
