Publisher's Synopsis

Goethe�������s Travels In Italy is a book that recounts the author�������s journey to Italy, his second residence in Rome, and his observations on the country. Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, a renowned German writer, poet, and philosopher, wrote this book after his travels to Italy between 1786 and 1788. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers Goethe�������s travels to Italy, where he visited various cities, including Milan, Venice, Florence, and Naples. He describes the landscapes, architecture, art, and culture of each city in vivid detail, providing readers with a unique perspective on Italy during that time. The second part of the book focuses on Goethe�������s second residence in Rome. He lived in Rome for two years and immersed himself in the city�������s art and culture. He describes his experiences in Rome, including his interactions with the locals, his visits to museums and galleries, and his thoughts on Italian art. In addition to the two main parts of the book, Goethe also includes fragments of his writings on Italy, which provide readers with further insights into his observations and reflections on the country. Overall, Goethe�������s Travels In Italy is a fascinating account of one man�������s journey to Italy and his experiences there. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Italian culture, art, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
