ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an account of the cavalcade with which the pope made his way to the church of St John Lateran. It presents information on the ambassadors invested with the insignia of knighthood, as well as the church of the Blessed Virgin of Loreto. The Japanese travellers shares their reasons for not visiting the most noble city of Naples, which is about forty leagues to the east of Rome. Now Naples is counted among the most noble of European cities; it is inferior to none, and outdoes all others in the agreeableness of its situation and the number of its nobles. The reason for not visiting Naples had nothing to do with the weather but with the security situation prompted by bread riots.
