Description of the subjects depicted in the print:
From the original description: The streets in Bologna are narrow, and the exterior
of the public buildings is by no means proportioned to the fame and to
the opulence of the city. The cathedral is comparatively a modern
edifice, its original dating back no farther than 1605. The exterior is
in the Roman, and the interior in the Corinthian style. The church of
San Petronio presents an imposing appearance, but the most interesting
circumstance connected with it is the meridian of Cassini, which is
traced on its pavement. An arcade of the extraordinary length of three
miles, conducts to the church of the Madonna di S. Luca. This
remarkable work was raised by the voluntary contributions of persons of
every class in Bologna, for the purpose of accommodating in all seasons
and in all weather, the crowds who flock to pay their devotions to the
Virgin. At the annual fete of the Madonna the arcade presents an
exciting scene, in which, however, little of the solemnity of a
religious festival is observable. Two brick towers, the Torre Asinelli
and the Torre Garisenda, attract the traveller's attention by their
slenderness and height, and yet more by their inclination from the
perpendicular. In this last respect they resemble the tower of Pisa,
and the cause of inclination is generally admitted to be the same in
both cases, namely, a sinking of the earth. The towers of Bologna do
not incline in the same direction, but towards each other; and the
Torre Garisenda has the greatest inclination of the two.
