[Florence]
Tuesday, 7th [February 1860]
Dined at 3 with Mr. Landor. …
At dinner the good Wilson who was formerly a servant of Mrs Browning waited upon us with wonderful tact. …
Wilson had reserved a little surprise for him, in a dish of Cingali which he said was certainly the best thing in the world. The deep rich purple of Montepulciano gleamed at us from the chrystal and reminded him of Redi and his delicious songs.
