For fifteen years, after his first visit to the country in 1876, Nietzsche was repeatedly and irresistibly drawn back to Italy’s climate and lifestyle. It was there that he composed his most famous works, including ‘Thus Spake Zarathustra’ and ‘Ecce Homo’. This book follows the troubled philosopher from Rome, to Florence, via Venice, Sorrento, Genoa, Sicily and finally to the tragic denouement in Turin, the city in which Nietzsche found a final measure of contentment before his irretrievable collapse.
