In his Notes of a Journey through France and Italy (1824-26), William Hazlitt shows how Italy was perceived abroad at the beginning of the 19th century. Though still divided in reigns, its natural and artistic beauties seemed to anticipate its political unification. Hazlitt describes the merits and flaws of the cities he visited and of the people he met, making a keen and surprising portrait of ‘Italy before Italy’.
