Sanguinetto
Brook of Sanguinetto
John Kenyon (1784–1856)
“There are two little rivulets which run from the Gualandro into the lake. The traveller crosses the first of these at about a mile after he comes into the plain, and this divides the Tuscan from the Papal territories. The second, about a quarter of a mile farther on, is called ‘the bloody rivulet’; and the peasants point out an open spot to the left between the ‘Sanguinetto’ and the hills, which, they say, was the principal scene of slaughter.”—Hobhouse’s Notes to Childe Harold.
