Summary/Abstract: Guided by various political, ecclesiastical, scholastic events or by the passion of knowing the beauty of distant lands, especially from Italy, various writers who became memorialist travelers surprised impressions and memories from their travels. They wrote about the people and the places visited in the wandering countries that they then shared with the reader in more or less elaborate form of travel notes, diaries or from complex literary works inspired by their experiences. The information offered by them especially as visitors of the same cities and in Italy seems to show a preference for Rome, Naples, but also Milan, Genoa, is complementary and offers together socio-cultural frescos very close to the reality that they enjoy, thus reconfirming the importance of travel memories.
