Christ In Italy: Being The Adventures Of A Maverick Among Masterpieces is a travelogue written by American author Mary Hunter Austin, first published in 1912. The book chronicles Austin's travels throughout Italy, where she explores the country's art, architecture, and culture. Austin's unique perspective as a maverick is evident throughout the book, as she takes a critical and often humorous approach to her experiences. She provides a detailed account of her encounters with various works of art, including Michelangelo's David and the Sistine Chapel, as well as her interactions with Italian locals. The book's title refers to Austin's spiritual journey as she searches for the presence of Christ in the art and culture of Italy. She reflects on the religious significance of the artwork she encounters and the role of faith in Italian society. Overall, Christ In Italy is a fascinating account of one woman's exploration of Italy's rich cultural heritage, and her personal search for meaning and spirituality within it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
