CHAP. CLXVII. Of Como, and the Trade thereof.
* 1.1COmo is made more famous by the Lake whereon it is seated, being 50 Miles about, than by the Trade thereof, though it may well be imagined the same doth add a good fur∣therance thereto by the benefit and commodity thereof, and by Transporting Wares to Neighbouring places seated thereabout.
* 1.2The Weight thereof is the Pound, and 100 l. which hath been observed to produce in Ve∣nice Suttle 108, and Gross 67 l. which in
London is 72 l. Averdupois, or thereabout.
Corn is sold by the
Mosa, which are here 14 Pesos, and every Peso is 10 l. at ••0 oun. per l. which in Venetia is 378 l. Suttle, which is 305
l. Gross, so that the said 14 Pesos is in
Venetia 1⅛ Staios; And thus have I done with the
Dutchy of Millan, and proceed to Mantua, and the
Dukedom.
