Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how various travelers have interpreted Italy's allure over the last few centuries. Before the 18th century, Italy had been seen through the lens of learning and curiosity, with little regard for its artistic or picturesque side. But as the 18th century dawned, a new appreciation for art and nature began to emerge, leading to a more nuanced understanding of Italy's offerings. The author traces how travelers gradually shifted from seeing Italy primarily as a repository of ancient ruins and curiosities to recognizing its beauty and cultural richness. By examining the writings of renowned travelers like Montaigne, Goethe, and de Brosses, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolving perspectives on Italy's enduring legacy.
