Résumé

Résumé : "Rollo in Naples" by Jacob Abbott is a captivating narrative that follows the adventures of a young boy named Rollo and his uncle, Mr. George, as they travel through Italy. The story begins in Florence, where Mr. George is engrossed in studying the city's rich collection of art, while Rollo explores the streets, observing the local culture and customs. The duo decides to travel to Naples, and they engage a vetturino, a traditional Italian carriage service, for their journey. They are joined by Mrs. Gray, her children Rosie and Josie, and their maid Susannah, forming a travel party that navigates the picturesque Italian countryside. The narrative delves into the logistics of traveling in Italy during the 19th century, highlighting the arrangements made with the vetturino, including the costs, accommodations, and the customs system of "buono manos" or gratuities. The group establishes a set of rules to ensure a harmonious journey, with fines for tardiness and complaints, which are humorously enforced by the children. As they travel through Tuscany and the Papal States, the travelers encounter various cultural and historical landmarks, including roadside crosses adorned with religious symbols. These encounters provide a backdrop for discussions on the history and significance of these emblems, offering insights into the religious and cultural landscape of Italy. The journey is not just a physical one but also an educational experience for Rollo and his companions, as they learn about the art, history, and traditions of the regions they traverse. The story is a blend of travelogue and educational narrative, capturing the essence of Italy's rich heritage through the eyes of a curious young traveler.
