Whiting gathers impressions from several visits to Italy, deliberately leaving out Florence, which she had covered in an earlier book. She writes on modern art and society in Rome, idle days in Naples, Amalfi and Capri, a stay on Ischia, the memory of St. Francis at Assisi, and a June in Venice, mixing travel description with history, art and literary association.
A warm early twentieth-century travel memoir for readers who like their Italy seen through art, saints and drawing rooms. Download the free EPUB.
