Summary/Abstract: This text aims to present some experiences and impressions of Bulgarian writers in Italy. Traditionally, Italy is perceived by Bulgarians as a cultural etalon and a cradle of the European Renaissance. There are a few accents in the focus of the research: the act of travelling and the emotions coming out of that; the reaction of the Eastern man when he contacts the Western culture; perception of the cultural monuments; self-reflection and thoughts of the travelers; images of the other; comparison between the premised (expected) image of Italy and the seen/experienced.
