“…Plus rares furent ceux qui se rendirent en Écosse à cette période. Outre Angiolini, ce fut le cas de Marsilio Landriani, issu de la noblesse lombarde, dont le périple entre 1787 et 1788 a été retracé par l'historienne Corine Maitte 7 . Toutefois, déjà bien avant le XVIII e siècle, l'Écosse avait attiré les Italiens.…”

“…Since the eighteenth century, going abroad to learn about new technological innovations in other countries was a common practice among Italian entrepreneurs and politicians. 82 Cavour himself enormously benefited from his extensive trips to France and England, where he developed his political ideas, as well as visiting industrial sites and cities. 83 In addition to the examination of drawings and archives, the analysis of guidebooks shows how the development of new infrastructure in Liguria was enthusiastically received by both local and English writers.…”

Abstract:New roads and, later, railways were essential for the modernisation and rapid economic development of north-western Italy in the early nineteenth century. The new routes also encouraged an increasing number of foreign travellers to visit the region. They opened up fresh tracts of countryside and provided novel viewpoints and points of interest; many travellers took the opportunity to record these views with topographical drawings and watercolours. In this article we make use of some of these views to examine how the modernised transport routes released new places to be celebrated by tourists and became themselves features and objects of especial interest and comment. We examine the works of three artists, one English and two Italian, who depicted landscapes of contrasting rural Ligurian landscapes. Their drawings and prints are contextualised and interpreted with maps, field data, archival documents and contemporary descriptions of roads and railways by travellers and in guidebooks.
