The book explores the history and culture of the French Riviera, particularly the area along the Great Corniche Road between Nice and Mentone, blending personal anecdotes with historical narratives. Through detailed descriptions, Treves provides insights into the evolution of this region, including its ancient inhabitants and the influences that shaped it over centuries. The opening of the text sets the tone for a deep exploration of the Riviera's past, highlighting its obscured and often fragmented history. Treves evokes imagery of early inhabitants, such as the Ligurians and later Roman and barbarian influences, painting a vivid picture of the land's shift from wilderness to civilization. He captures the complex interplay of cultures, battles, and the gradual emergence of towns amid a backdrop of persistent conflict and change. As the author describes the ancient landscape and historical transitions, he establishes the Riviera as not just a picturesque locale but as a site of ongoing human drama that has shaped its identity over the ages.
