Vienne
0 mentionsFrance
Vienne in Dauphiné, on the Rhône below Lyon. Cavriana writes from here at the end of September 1571, between Florence in August and Paris in November, which is the road home; not Vienna, which writing Italian he would have called Vienna.
Where he wrote from
One row to the year, one cell to the month, coloured by the place a letter was sent from — blue for France, warm for Italy, the darkest shade in each for the place he wrote from most. Cavriana is not travelling a circuit: he is at Paris and the court for most of nine years, and what the band shows is the absences from it — Nevers in 1568, the journey to Italy at the end of 1569, the summer of 1571 at the baths above Lucca, and the winters the court kept at Blois. A month with no letter is left empty, which is a gap in the correspondence and not a claim about where he was.
Hover a month to see where he was and which letters he wrote.
