Before the revolution, the city of Rome produced no gazette or political journal except the Diario di Roma, an insignificant uninteresting paper, which accordingly did not continue long. The news readers had recourse to the gazettes of Venice and Florence, which were to be met with at the principal coffee-houses.
Several new journals came forth during the revolution; but notwithstanding the abundance of materials in that stormy period, the Monitore di Roma was the only one whose existence was protracted till the dissolution of the republic. It was supplanted by the Spettatore Ro. muno, edited by the Abbate Carlo Fea, advantageously known as the author of several works of his own, and his editions of those of Mengs and Winkelman.— This paper, however, was soon given up from a want of subscribers. Since the year 1801, there has appeared at Rome a well conducted gazette, entitled Noti- zie del Mondo, which is continued with considerable success.
