Notes: a woman in regional folk costume with a distinctive head-dress stands in the centre with at least one other similarly dressed woman partially obscured; they may be performing for the passers-by who seem to be looking in their direction.

Albergo Di Russia (right) - "the English painter JMW Turner had painted the building when it was still under construction and then it was used as a hotel with the name of Hotel de Russie et des Isles Britannique as it was still known in the land registry of 1855. At the end of the same century the hotel was already known as Hotel de Russie , much appreciated also by the Russian clientele and by the European one in general, and its fame was maintained for the whole first thirty years of the following century. Between 1870 and 1872 it was raised by two floors by Carlo Nicola Carnevali."

O. Andreoni Galleria Di Scultura - Sculpture, in the background with marble figures on display in the window.

"Orazio Andreoni (c1843-1895) was an Italian 19th sculptor and professor based in Rome whose works in marble were of subjects after the antique, as well as his own compositions which were often historical or romantic works, found their way to American and English collectors alike. He exhibited Le Pharisien in Turin in 1883 and Negrése in Berlin 1892. He also exhibited in Glasgow in 1888 and is believed to have been active for a time in America (a file on him is in the Smithsonian Institution Library). Andreoni's works can also be found in several museums and public parks. "L 'aveugle Nidia and Le Pharisien are currently at the Sydney Museum in Australia."
