About this book

A tour through Italy becomes a record of both sightseeing and strong convictions in W. Cope Devereux's account, published in 1884. His route takes in the Riviera, northern and southern Italy, Sicily and Malta. Churches, picture galleries, harbours and hotels share space with observations on railway travel, climate and the everyday inconveniences of visiting unfamiliar places. In the preface, he welcomes Italy's recent unification while sharply criticising the harm caused by gambling at Monte Carlo.

The passage on Palermo shows his eye for architectural detail: sunlight on mosaics, marble columns in cloisters and the contrasting styles of the city's churches. He also notices schools in a convent and women arranging their daughters' hair beside the road.
