[CASSINI], Manuel de l'étranger qui voyage en Italie, 1778

First edition.
Work by Jean-Dominique Cassini (known as Cassini IV) who wrote this manual the day after his trip to Italy in 1775.
Cassini regretted that most authors on Italy sometimes digressed without having left their salons. On the contrary, he wanted to offer a practical manual for travelers:
"this little work, whose sole purpose is to be useful to travelers. It teaches the routes, warns of obstacles; indicates the means; teaches what is to be seen, what can be neglected." (extract from the preface).
