Summary "The Journal of Montaigne's Travels in Italy by Way of Switzerland and Germany" by Michel de Montaigne is a historical travelogue written in the late 16th century. This work documents Montaigne's reflections and experiences during his journey through Italy, Switzerland, and Germany, as he observes the places he visits and the people he encounters. It is likely to appeal to readers interested in travel literature, historical insights, and Renaissance thought. At the start of the journal, Montaigne recounts his entry into Verona, describing the city's layout, its significant landmarks, and the customs observed during his visit, such as the behavior of worshippers during Mass and the unique characteristics of local institutions. As he travels, he engages with various aspects of daily life, from the culinary experiences in different towns to social interactions, highlighting his contemplative nature. The opening lays the foundation for the exploration of culture and human behavior that characterizes Montaigne's journeys, setting the stage for his musings throughout the rest of the journal.
