Italian Highways and Byways from a Motor Car by M. F. Mansfield
"Italian Highways and Byways from a Motor Car" by Francis Milton is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work captures the author's journey through Italy by automobile, exploring both well-known cities and lesser-known countryside locales. The narrative likely focuses on the rich cultural experiences and picturesque landscapes of Italy, emphasizing a more personal and intimate view of the country beyond the typical tourist attractions. The opening of the booksets the stage for an exploration of Italy that is both romantic and practical, encouraging readers to venture beyond the main roads to discover the hidden gems of the Italian countryside. The author reflects on how modern travel by automobile allows for a deeper understanding of the country's history, culture, and local traditions, contrasting this with the brief, superficial experiences often encountered by railway travelers. Through a mix of personal anecdotes and historical references, the introduction hints at a journey filled with discoveries that promise to reveal a side of Italy that is often overlooked.
