Drawn from his Sketches and Studies in Italy and Italian Byways, these essays follow Symonds over the Apennines to the castle of Fosdinovo, the Gulf of La Spezia and Porto Venere, and into quieter corners of Italian towns. A Venetian lodging in San Vio and a pair of Swiss companions from the Grisons also appear.
