Description
An account of the resource
‘A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see.’ - Dr Samuel Johnson
Italy – what dreams and romantic longings the name conjures up. Florence, Venice, Rome – landmarks of European history and civilization. The country of Caesar, Cicero, Horace, and Virgil: the land which gave birth to Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Dante, Ariosto, and Tasso. The list would be endless if it also encompassed ‘modern’ day celebrities such as Giuseppe Verdi, Enrico Fermi, Sofia Loren, Giorgio Armani, Dino Zoff (considered the best goalkeeper in the history of football), and the controversial Silvio Berlusconi.
Renowned for its architecture, its complex historical past, its literature, fashion, and cuisine, Italy is now sub-divided into 20 regions, where most speak Italian (a Florentine variety of Tuscan). Viva l’Italia: A Regional Romp through Italy is an exhibition that is constructed around images of Italian cities from a 17th century copy of Pietro Bertelli’s Theatro delle Citta d’Italia (1629). By utilising these images, the viewer ‘romps’ through the various regions of the country from Piedmont in the north, to Puglia in the southeast, Sardinia in the west, and Sicily in the southwest. The Republic (formed in 1946) encompasses some 301,338 kilometres. By necessity coverage is selective, an overview that covers most regions, not all cities, and not all facets of this richly diverse country.
Most of the Italian books in this exhibition are from the collections of Esmond de Beer and Charles Brasch, which are housed in Special Collections. Both men thoroughly enjoyed what Italy offered to the world; we are grateful for their passion. Forza Italia!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
From Mondragone in the north and Sapri in the south lies the region of Campania, the second most populous in Italy. It also includes the Phlegraean Islands and Capri. Naples (Napoli) was the capital city of the Kingdom of Naples between 1282 and 1816, and then capital of the Two Sicilies until the unification of Italy in 1861. Naples is still the capital of the region today and is famous for pizza. No pizza parlours are evident in this 1629 engraving, but two of the city’s many medieval and renaissance buildings are: the Castel Sant’Elmo and the Castel Nuovo, the seat of the medieval kings of Naples. The wooded area far outside the walls (middle right) is close to where Naples International airport is situated today.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
About 9 kilometres from Naples stands Mount Vesuvius, one of Italy’s most dangerous volcanoes. It is best known for its eruption in AD 79, which led to the destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Since then the volcano has erupted many times, the last being in March 1944, when it destroyed the villages of San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, Massa di Somma, Ottaviano, and part of San Giorgio a Cremano. Today some 3 million people live under the shadow of this active volcano, and the area surrounding it is a national park, open to visitors. This 19th century work details the lava flows from eruptions occurring between 1631 and 1831.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Boccaccio (d.1375), the Tuscan poet, visited Naples on various occasions, and in his<em> Decameron</em> he described it as a dissolute city. Roberto Saviano’s <em>Gomorrah</em> is a modern account of the decline of Naples under the rule of organized crime, the so-called <em>Camorra</em>, a Neapolitan mafia organization. Since its publication in 2006, Saviano – a Naples-based journalist – has been under police protection. For his courageous stand, he has received praise from individuals such as neurologist Rita Levi-Montalcini, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, author Günter Grass, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Italian author Umberto Eco; the latter calling Saviano a ‘national hero’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Some famous Neapolitans include poet Statius (1st century AD), poet Giambattista Marino (d.1625), philosopher Giambattista Vico (d.1744), and more recently tenor Enrico Caruso (d.1921) and Giuliana Rancic of <em>E! TV</em> fame. Visitors to Naples have included artist Caravaggio (d.1610); the German archaeologist Winckelmann (d.1768); Goethe (d.1832); and Alexandre Dumas (d.1870). At the age of 24, diarist John Evelyn (1620-1706) visited Naples and his account – published long after his death – shed light on the art, culture and politics of the city. This passage – with annotations by Evelyn scholar Esmond de Beer – records visits to various churches such as the cathedral and St. Maria Maggiore. Note that Vesuvius is ‘smoaking’.

Enlarging the prospects of happiness: European travel writing through the ages. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
Discoveries of new places, customs and climates always fascinate. While few of us possess the stamina, courage or funds to undertake marvellous or exotic voyages, we eagerly await reports of the exploits of famous travellers. It is little surprise that National Geographic magazine enjoys one of the largest readerships in English. Accounts of travel appear to have been popular from the beginning, though readers in earlier ages clearly sought different sorts of enlightenment expressed in quite different styles. This highly selective record of travel accounts over the past 500 years reveals both continuities and variations as readers explore new possibilities of worship, trade, social and political structures, and new ways of understanding their own place in the world.
Drawn primarily from the riches of the de Beer collection, with other material from special collections and Central Library holdings and from the Hocken Library and pictorial collections, this exhibition displays the remarkable breadth of the University's treasures. Moving outward from Rome as the centre of the European imagination, we traverse Europe through the mid-19th century, roam the Atlantic to the Americas and Africa, and finally conquer the Pacific in search of new territory and ideas. We witness travellers as pilgrims, explorers, diplomats and tourists. We encounter new creatures, renewed appreciation of domestic attractions, and a constant tension between fact and fiction. While the material displayed focuses primarily on works in English, similar publications appeared in every European language.
The exhibition curated by Dr Shef Rogers and was opened on Thursday 20 June 2002 at 5.30pm.

Description
An account of the resource
This early version of the coffee-table book provides interesting insights into assumptions about Italian life, with its lively images of landmarks, religious processions, and peasant life. Given the French title and lack of publishing information, it is likely that a traveller collected the pictures individually, and then had them coloured and bound upon return home, much as we do with the modern photo album.
