Travel, 1754-1940

Extent:
90 items
Scope and content:

This is one of the smallest groups at 90 items. Formats represented include mostly pamphlets, some with illustrations and maps.

There are several items dealing with travel outside Italy or Europe, including narratives or studies of voyages during the sixteenthand seventeenth centuries and even earlier. Specific destinations include Africa, the North and South Poles, China, the United States, and Japan.

Individual names in this sub-collection include: Angelo Mosso, Luigi Villari, Lodovico Nocentini, Piero Barbera, Marco Polo (S), Nicolo` Scillacio (S), Sebastian Cabot (S), Cristoforo Colombo (S), Giovanni Miani (S), Maurizio Buoninfanti (S), and Carlantonio Pilati (S).

Items concerning travel in Italy or Europe are found under "Italy -- Description and travel," and "Europe -- Description and travel." Scientific studies of localities would fall under either "Science -- Italy" or under "Miscellaneous." Finally, if a pamphlet does not have travel as its exclusive focus, check under "History" if it appears to be centered more around historical events.
