Synopsis

In My Italian Year, Richard Bagot invites readers into Italian life through careful, humane observations. He explains how an Anglo-Saxon mindset can clash with a Latin temperament, and how dwelling in Italy often changes a writer’s view.

This edition explores daily life, language, and traditions from Rome to Naples, showing how locals and expatriates navigate culture, hospitality, and social custom. It offers practical, grounded reflections rather than romance or caricature, helping readers understand the push and pull of living abroad.


  • How language gaps shape everyday interactions and misunderstandings

  • Different ideas of hospitality, sociability, and friendship

  • Festive customs and family life, especially around Christmas and Epiphany

  • Observations on children, schooling, and social expectations across classes



Ideal for readers who enjoy thoughtful travel writing, cultural essays, and the real texture of life in Italy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
