Art/Literary
Poetry & Literature
A text at the head of a web page on a village close to the Cinque Terre in northern Italy. I assume this is part of a poem. In all honesty I do not really understand what the writer is trying to say (poetry is not my strong point, particularly 19th century poetry).
Also, do you know who Merzaroli was? Is Remondini his poem/book?
"…in quel di Piazza verso oriente si ha un sito che fu detto San Pietro, e corre voce tradizionale che ivi fosse chiesa e convento” (Merzaroli in Remondini, 1888)

tradition would have it that there was a church and convent/monastery there
A quick look on Internet left me none the wiser about Remondini and Merzaroli, but I'm pretty sure the sense is that "traditionally folks say/rumour has it". As I'm sure you're aware, "convento" can be for monks or nuns, but if it's dedicated to S. Pietro, it may well have been a monastery.
