Abstract

The article discusses the allure of the city of Naples, Italy and its surroundings for poets Torquato Tasso and John Milton during their visits guided by Italian entrepreneur Giovanni Battista Manso. While Manso's descriptions evoke admiration and interest, Milton's own reactions to the city and its scenic beauty remain unknown. Milton's lack of documented engagement in Naples's cultural life highlights the city's bustling diversity and rich historical significance.
