The Palace of the prince must have a piazza in front of it.  
Houses intended for dancing or any kind of jumping or any other  
movements with a multitude of people, must be on the ground- floor;

Let all the privies have ventilation [by shafts] in the thickness of  
the walls, so as to exhale by the roofs.
