Note 300 — Chapter V

Guidoni’s reports (in Cappelli) contain a number of notices and hints from which Lorenzo’s state of mind at the time of the treaty of 1486 and his relations with the allies may be clearly made out. On Sarzanello, see Carlo Promis, Storia del forte di Sarzanello (Turin, 1888). From one of Guidoni’s reports it appears that the Florentines also used mines: ‘sperasi per certe cave fatte ... che S. Francesco si acquisterà fra due dì.’
