Monsieur Petit’s, near the Piazza Spagnola, Rome

An unknown place of lodging in Rome near the Piazza Spagnola.

John Evelyn describes it so:

”…and being perplexed for a convenient lodging, wandered up and down on horseback, till at last one conducted us to Monsieur Petit’s, a Frenchman, near the Piazza Spagnola. Here I alighted, and, having bargained with my host for twenty crowns a month, I caused a good fire to be made in my chamber and went to bed, being so very wet.”
