| Abstract: | Hidden and hemmed in between the stores and the bastion wall was a flight of steps that provided a short cut from the Barriera to Porta di Monte. In 1710, nobody could have guessed that Nix Mangiari Steps would acquire quite a reputation in the 19th century. Poverty and unemployment characterised the first decades of British rule, and spawned hordes of beggars, who first targeted those freshly released from the Barriera. |
