Descrizione del barone Ludwig Von Welden (1782-1853)
The narration by Baron Franz Ludwig von Welden in the land of S. Giulio belongs to the series of accounts on the "Grand Tour" characteristic of the period between the 18th and 19th century: he describes the Riviera with the eyes of a topographer and, without a doubt, with the eyes of a geographer. The careful description of the places represents, after about two centuries, an important element that makes the text by Welden very useful: as a matter of fact, with it we can partly reconstruct the environment of the Riviera at the beginning of the 19th century.
