Summary "Profili e paesaggi della Sardegna" by Paolo Mantegazza is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The work reflects Mantegazza's personal observations and experiences as he explores the beauty and cultural intricacies of Sardinia, aiming to rekindle appreciation for the island among Italians. The author gives voice to both the geographical marvels of the Sardinian landscape and the complexities of its social fabric. At the start of the text, Mantegazza introduces readers to the often-overlooked island of Sardinia, expressing his deep affection for its landscapes and people. He candidly reflects on the island's beauty, urging his fellow Italians to recognize its value, while noting the struggles and inertia of its inhabitants. The opening chapters are rich in vivid descriptions of Sardinian cities such as Cagliari and Sassari, as well as the picturesque but challenging rural areas, painting a comprehensive picture of Sardinia's history, culture, and potential for growth. Mantegazza’s narrative interweaves his observations on the societal issues faced by the Sardinians with his admiration for their resilience, inviting readers on a journey of discovery through this Mediterranean gem.
