| Summary | "Spagna" by Edmondo De Amicis is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the experiences of an Italian traveler as he embarks on a journey through Spain, beginning with his departure from Italy and the poignant farewell to his mother. The narrative is rich in detail as it explores the landscapes, cultures, and political sentiments of the various regions visited, particularly focusing on the beginning stages of the protagonist's journey in Catalonia. The opening of the book introduces the narrator as he prepares for his journey to Spain, capturing the mixed emotions of excitement and melancholy as he leaves behind his home and loved ones. The narrative details his encounters along the way, including a conversation with an old friend and the curiosity he feels upon witnessing the sea for the first time. Upon reaching Barcelona, the traveler is enchanted by the vibrant city, described through vivid observations of its bustling streets and unique customs, highlighting the stark contrasts between his expectations and the realities he faces. As he immerses himself in the Catalan culture, the text encapsulates both the joy of discovery and the weight of nostalgia that accompanies the journey.
