This work offers an intimate glimpse into the daily lives, customs, and festivities of the Italian people, focusing on the cultural richness that transcends the more commonly depicted historical and artistic lens through which Italy is often viewed. The beginning of the text presents a vivid preface from the author, outlining her intent to document the everyday experiences of the people who form the heart of Italy. Carr expresses her affection and respect for the folk she describes, emphasizing their simplicity, dignity, and the joy of life in the sunlit landscapes of the Riviera and the Apennines. She contrasts their authenticity against the more superficial portrayals often presented by tourism and art. As she embarks on her collection, she invites readers to witness their charming traditions, lively festivals, and the rich, colorful tapestry of their lives, setting the stage for the sketches that follow.
