I afterwards procured an explanation what this Bambino was. The Bambino is a little wooden Jesus, richly dressed and ornamented.
The Convent, which has the good fortune to possess this image, neither has, nor needs any other patrimony.
As soon as any person (who can afford the expense,) is seriously ill, they send for the Bambino, and always in a coach, for he never goes on foot. Two Recollets conduct, and place him by the sick man, where they remain, at his expense, until he dies or recovers.

The Bambino is constantly running about; they sometimes fight who shall have him at the gate of the Convent, and tear him from each other; in the Summer, especially, he has extraordinary business, though he makes them pay very dearly for his visits, on account of the demand, and the hot weather. This is but fair.
