Alessandria in Piedmont (1055. 1056).
At Candia in Lombardy, near Alessandria della Paglia, in making a
well for Messer Gualtieri Footnote 2: Messer Gualtieri, the same
probably as is mentioned in Nos. 672 and 1344. of Candia, the
skeleton of a very large boat was found about 10 braccia
underground; and as the timber was black and fine, it seemed good to
the said Messer Gualtieri to have the mouth of the well lengthened
in such a way as that the ends of the boat should be uncovered.
