wine history
A quote from Virgil in a wine history. The Italian needs to be translated into English -
Virgilio (i sec. a.C.), nell’Eneide, descrive una scena in cui Bizia Ille impiger hausit spumantem pateram, et pleno se proluit auro, cioè “Egli sollecito bevve la coppa spumante e tracannò col boccale aureo pieno”.
Can't understand the use of 'sollecito'. Is it promptly? Thanks

promptly
In Italian, SOLLECITO means prompt, ready, quick...So I would translate as PROMPTLY.
