    • Read more about Camerlata

    The name of the place is probably to be linked to the expression (in Lombard language) cà merlada, that is "house with battlements". According to Cesare Cantú the first settlement dates back to a fort erected during the wars between the Romans and the Insubri. [without source] The ruins were found and rebuilt by Luitprando, Gothic king. [who? maybe King Liutprand? but he was Lombard, not Gothic...] But its last reconstruction was made by Frederick Barbarossa who erecting new crenellated walls gave the place the name it still bears today.

    In other countries a long wait at a station is a dull thing and tedious, but one has no right to have that feeling in India. You have the monster crowd of bejeweled natives, the stir, the bustle, the confusion, the shifting splendors of the costumes—dear me, the delight of it, the charm of it are beyond speech. The two-hour wait was over too soon. Among other satisfying things to look at was a minor native prince from the backwoods somewhere, with his guard of honor, a ragged but wonderfully gaudy gang of fifty dark barbarians armed with rusty flint-lock muskets.
