Journey to Calabria by Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) that the author carries out in the autumn of 1835 in the Company of the painter Jadin, the day after the trip to Sicily to follow the mission of the 1000 of Garibaldi, instead constitutes a collection of sensations aroused in immediacy of the objective vision of perceived facts and phenomena, but subsequently transported into a romantic atmosphere through suggestive stimulations elaborated in fantastic transposition. The book offers itself to the reader with all the pleasantness and smoothness of an adventure novel in which the writer, at times, almost seems to have assimilated the cheeky and light-hearted air of a Gascon, typical of some characters in his most famous novels.
