Items related to Naples: A Traveller's Companion
Desmond Seward's travellers' companion is a topographical anthology which recreates for both sightseers and armchair tourists the drama, the history, and the life of the city of Naples in buildings and locations that can still be visited. Extracts from chronicles, memoirs, biographies, letters and novels are given which refer to the most important and beautiful buildings in and around Naples, and the book is illustrated with paintings and prints of the city. Special regard is given to the vanished glories of royal Naples and its former independent status as the capital of The Kingdom of the The Two Sicilies with its own lineage of monarchs which ended with the departure of King Francis II in 1860. The book includes a map of the city locating the places described.
