Pictures from Italy

""If they have ever a fanciful and idle air, perhaps the reader will suppose them written in the shade of a Sunny Day, in the midst of the objects of which they treat, and will like them none the worse for having such influences of the country upon them."" Pictures from Italy is a delightful travelogue by Dickens that narrates his reflections during his stay in Genoa. In ceaseless picturesque images, he paints the streets and buildings as well as the life of Italy.
