Explore Northern Italy reading André Suarez greatest novel, "Voyage du Condottiere"

"Voyage du Condottiere", written between the end of the 19th century and the 1930's, is one of the most inspiring ways to discover Northern Italy, its cities, towns, their art and soul. Each of the towns is described as having a proper personality. The writer Suarez, French poet and critic, says himself that "Like anything that really matters in life, a great journey is a work of art". From the Casa Giuleta in Verona, where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet tragedy found evidence, to Donatello's work in Basilic of San Anthony in Padua, you will get across an incomparable and splendid heritage. Jean d'Ormesson, famous member of the Académie Française, says about it: "For the traveler who wants to know Italy, (...) other than the most superficial appearance, the Voyage du Condottiere will be an unrivalled guide."
