| Summary | "New Italian Sketches" by John Addington Symonds is a collection of travel essays written in the late 19th century. This work presents vivid sketches and reflections of the author's journeys through Italy, focusing on various locations and the experiences he encounters. Through his observations, Symonds captures the beauty and complexity of Italy's landscapes, architecture, and cultural history, providing an intimate glimpse into both the physical and emotional landscapes of the places he visits. The opening of "New Italian Sketches" sets the tone for a rich exploration of Italy's natural beauty as Symonds recounts his travel through the Alps into Italy. He vividly describes the enchanting scenery, from the frosty meadows and snow-dusted mountains to the vibrant colors of autumn leaves. Through his journey, the author reflects on his feelings regarding the contrast between the austere beauty of the Alps and the more emotionally evocative landscapes of Italy, ultimately conveying his longing for deeper emotional experiences tied to the southern beauty. The narrative invites readers into an intimate journey, revealing not only the physical journey across Italy but also Symonds' contemplative thoughts and feelings along the way.
