Old Italy:
Where to Go and What to See 400 Years Ago

by Anonymous

A tour through Italy between 1500 and 1510. This unidentified author describes, with great flourish, his journey through Italy. Although presented in the form of a travel guide, with itineraries guiding the reader from town to town and information on the local spots of interest, this intriguing text reflects what he himself found interesting, such as castles, armaments, shipbuilding. His remarks on the buildings and other attractions reflect a thorough and well-informed medieval traveller.
