My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century - Plot & Excerpts
When Lorenzo and I finally made it back to the carriage, it was nearly sundown. And that’s when I discovered an interesting tidbit I had not yet known about Renaissance Florence: the city has a curfew, along with ten guarded gates that get slammed shut at sunset. Apparently if you’re found wandering the streets inside the gates after curfew, you get to spend the night in jail. And if you find yourself outside the gates when they’re bolted, you’re stuck up a creek until sunrise. Another noteworthy detail is that being locked out isn’t that big of a deal, as there are plenty of inns outside the walls where the newly homeless can stay until morning. While this alone isn’t shocking, what is crazy is that with all the rules and regulations about society and sumptuary laws, and keeping classes in their places, the owner of the inn we stopped at had no qualms about giving us a room for the four of us to share. I, on the other hand, have qualms galore.
