Messer Giovanni proposed, in 1427, a tax which should not weigh too heavily upon anybody. Each citizen possessed of a capital of one hundred gold florins, or more, was mulcted in a payment to the State of half a gold florin. In the middle of October, 1562, the Duke and Duchess, with their four sons, left the Palazzo Pitti for a progress through South Tuscany and the Maremma. Cammilla sighed for the gaieties, the pleasures, and gallantries of Florence.
