DESCRIPTION
This course is structured in order to guide the student in the history of pre-unification Italy, seen through the eyes of foreign travelers. Exponents of an educated and trained elite, these young people traveled to improve their preparation and to weld it to the classical tradition, which was so dear to the ruling class of the time. The student will gain an appreciation for Italy at the time, its artistic and historical heritage, its people and, at the same time, will study the English literature of the pre-Victorian era.
