The author accompanied the then Italian Minister, the late Commendatore Stefano Scovasso, on his embassy to the Sultan. It is more literary than geographical value.



Italian travel writer (1846[-]1908), who fought against the Austrians in 1867 and retained a lifelong interest in exploration. His books on Constantinople, Andalucia and the Netherlands were popular and influential, translated into both French and English with atmospheric illustrations. Well informed but heavily immersed in a romantic imagination.
