 The Shelleys moved between various Italian cities during these years; in later 1818 they were living in Florence, in a pensione on the Via Valfonda.This street now runs alongside Florence's railway station, and the building now on the site, the original having been destroyed in World WarII, carries a plaque recording the poet's stay.Here they received two visitors, a Sophia Stacey and her much older travelling companion, Corbet Parry-Jones (to be described by Mary as "an ignorant little Welshwoman").
