"Fair Italy, the Riviera and Monte Carlo" by W. Cope Devereux is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the author's journey through Italy and the Riviera, with a particular emphasis on the enchanting scenery and historical sites, as well as the moral concerns surrounding the gambling culture of Monte Carlo. Devereux seeks not only to showcase the beauty of Italy but also to address the darker aspects of its allure for travelers, particularly at the notorious Monte Carlo casinos. The opening of the book sees Devereux embarking on a journey with his wife, motivated by the dreary British winter and the desire for warmer climes. Their travels begin in London, from where they take a train to Dover and then onward across the Channel, throughout France, and eventually to their ultimate destination of Italy. Describing their reflections on the varying landscapes and their observations of travel accommodations, the couple's excitement grows as they contemplate the artistic and historic treasures that await them in Italy, setting the stage for both their exploration of the region and the critique of gambling that will follow.
