Yhteenveto:This volume brings together studies on the travel writings of Italian visitors to the Ottoman Empire and its capital during the period spanning the late eighteenth century and the end of the reform era known as the Tanzimat (1788–1878), a time marked by the gradual Westernization of Ottoman social and political practices. Through an analysis of the works of Giovan Battista Casti, Cristina Trivulzio di Belgiojoso, and Edmondo De Amicis—alongside an extensive concluding historiographical reflection—the book traces a shift in the perception and representation of Ottoman otherness. The threatening image inherited from the early modern age gives way to a more distinctly exotic sensibility, imbued with a melancholic nostalgia for a lost grandeur.
