Italian holiday

Published in 1881, this is chronicles the author's love for Italy and the rest he enjoyed there in a lifetime of holidays. Chapters concentrate on a specific town, castle or church with drawings and asides that provide context for his recollections. Reminds me of the difference between traveling and tourism.
