Text:

[62] […] the excellent and ingenious Signora Dionigi, the author of a very erudite work [63] on the Roman antiquities, illustrated by her own beautiful views (for, distinguished as a writer, Signora Dionigi is still more distinguished as an artist). Her conversazioni are frequented by strangers, and they owe much of their attraction to the talents of her daughter, an accomplished improvisatrice.
