J. W. VON GOETHE, TRAVEL IN ITALY: Four literary nuances, in the formation processes, mental and emotional, as many travelers

Travel in Italy. http://www.amazon.it/Goethes-Travels-Italy-Residence-Fragments/dp/0548168172/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420199683&sr=8-1&keywords=travel+in+italy%2C+goethe The title of a book by JW von Goethe, his travelogue in the “land where the lemon trees bloom and foliage dark fulgono oranges gold. Because where there is much light, there is also plenty of shade. “In 1832, on his deathbed, he took leave from the world, this man of 83 years – reminiscent of his trip to Italy – asks one last thing: more light. The light of Palermo and Sicily, Naples and Vesuvius, Bologna, Rome and Castel Gandolfo, Florence, Venice and Verona had remained inside him, traveling in Italy, in the places of light and shadow, along with the “purity of the contours and the softness of everything, with saggy scambievolezza hues, harmonious unity of the sky with the sea, and the sea to the land.” http://www.amazon.it/Viaggio-Italia-1786-1788-Wolfgang-Goethe/dp/8817168203/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420197024&sr=8-1&keywords=viaggio+in+italia
