Extrait : "La partie méridionale de la cité d'Aoste est presque déserte, et paraît n'avoir jamais été fort habitée. On y voit des champs labourés et des prairies terminées d'un cté par des remparts antiques que les Romains élevèrent pour lui servir d'enceinte, et de l'autre par les murailles de quelques jardins.
