Synopsis

Recollections Of General Garibaldi I Or Travels From Rome To Lucerne: Comprising A Visit To The Mediterranean Isles Of La Maddalena An Caprera, And General Garibald's Home by Madame Schwarz offers a vivid 19th-century travelogue narrated by a female traveler. The work recounts an extended horseback journey through Italy and into Switzerland, tracing routes from Rome toward Loreto, the Romagna, and the Apennines, then onward to Savoy and the Alpine passes, before culminating in visits to the Maddalena archipelago and Caprera, home of Garibaldi. Interwoven with detailed landscape descriptions, historical reflections, and encounters with Italian life, the narrative blends travel narrative with social observation and political context of the era. Notable episodes include Loreto's Santa Casa, storm-tossed travel, and meetings with figures of the Risorgimento, including Garibaldi himself. The book also presents a portrait of a courageous woman traveler in a period when female mobility was less common, offering both practical travel detail and poetic homage to the landscapes and people of 19th?century Italy and its islands.
