The Longing for Italy the Italiensehnsucht of the german - speaking countries was forced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Italian Travels and sent scores of young and old to Italy's shores countryside and cities. The Grand Tour was the 17th- and 18th-century custom of a traditional trip of Europe undertaken by upper-class young European men and women of sufficient means and rank typically accompanied by a chaperone such as a family member when they had come of age about 21 years old. The custom - which flourished from about 1660 until the advent of large-scale rail transport in the 1840s and was associated with a standard itinerary - served as an educational rite of passage. Though the Grand Tour was primarily associated with the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry similar trips were made by wealthy young men of other Protestant Northern European nations and from the second half of the 18th century by some South and North Americans. By the mid 18th century the Grand Tour had become a regular feature of aristocratic education in Central Europe as well although it was restricted to the higher nobility. The tradition declined as enthusiasm for neo-classical culture waned and with the advent of accessible rail and steamship travel. Wikipedia unknown

1810réf. 3732018/10/1894. The letter is to Amelia de Laney who had attended the Nightingale Training School in the 1880s Being religious she tells de Laney “God bless you & prosper your work” In the Crimean War Florence Nightingale led a team of nurses to the military hospitals where British soldiers were dying in horrifying conditions - far more from disease and poor sanitation than from battle wounds. She transformed the hospitals dramatically cutting the death rate from around 43% down to just 2%. She became known as ""The Lady with the Lamp"" for walking the wards at night checking on patients. After the war she returned home a national hero but threw herself straight back into work rather than enjoying her fame. She spent the rest of her life campaigning for better sanitation in military and civilian hospitals public health reform and the professionalization of nursing. In 1860 she founded the first professional nursing school at St. Thomas' Hospital in London using money donated by a grateful public. Nurses trained there went on to reform healthcare across the world. Nightingale wrote over 200 works including Notes on Nursing which became a worldwide bestseller and extensive writings on theology public health and hospital reform. By 1894 Florence Nightingale was 74 years old and had been an invalid for decades suffering from what is now believed was chronic brucellosis or ""Crimean fever"" contracted during the Crimean War. This severe bacterial illness caused her debilitating fatigue chronic pain and intermittent fevers severely restricting her mobility. But despite being often confined to her room in South Street London she had by 1894 reached a period where her depression lifted allowing her to occasionally receive visitors. Invitations to visit her at home were however hard to obtain. Even under these trying circumstances she remained an active healthcare pioneer. In 1894 she prepared and submitted a seminal paper titled ""Sick-Nursing and Health-Nursing"" for the International Congress of Charities Correction and Philanthropy in Chicago. Amelia de Laney attended the Nightingale Training School at St. Thomas's Hospital between 1883 and 1886. In 1894 Florence Nightingale gifted a heavily annotated copy of Gray's Anatomy to de Laney who she regarded highly. The inscription dated Easter 1894 contained her ""love & prayers for her highest success.” Though when de Laney moved in 1894 to a position as matron at the newly founded Epileptic Colony in Chalfont St Peter Nightingale privately expressed her concerns to her friend Henry Bonham Carter commenting that the work was ""entirely new. It is not hospital work at all. It seems to me an immense responsibility.” Autograph letter signed 10 South St. Mayfair London October 18 1894 to de Laney whom she addresses as “Dear Miss de Laney” wishing that her work will prosper but declining to see her because of her pressing workload. “I was so glad to hear from you tho’ as you say there is not much settled yet. But if there is patience you may augur good things. I wish I could see you now as you kindly offer. But doctor has strictly forbidden my seeing anyone. And tho’ i cannot adhere to this because there is so much pressing work I dare not however unwillingly stay to add another just now. I am sure you would not wish it. I have not left my room for above a twelvemonth. And my kind doctor comes now every day. I very much hope to see you later on. God bless you & prosper your work. Yours sincerely F. Nightingale.” It is interesting to note that Nightingale who was religious ends the letter to her old student de Laney “God bless you & prosper your work.” It is also fascinating that Nightingale in her 70s continued to have “much pressing work.” An uncommon letter of Nightingale touching on her encouragement to her protege and on her faith and health. <img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt=""historical memorabilia dealer"" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown

1604Ediz. orig. In-4°; pp. 7, (1), al frontespizio un legno raffigura la cupola di Santa Maria del Fiore a Firenze; un capolettera inciso su legno, alcune note manoscritte. Legatura in cartonato colorato. L’opera è dedicata a Filippo Valori, l'ambasciatore fiorentino del papa. Edizione originale, assai rara. L'opuscolo di Franscesco Bocchi prende spunto dall'episodio di un fulmine abbattutosi sulla cupola di Santa Maria del Fiore a Firenze, per indirizzare il suo racconto sul tema del restauro di quello che era considerato il manufatto simbolo della città. Sebbene pubblicato solo nel 1604 la lettera è datata in calce Firenze Febbraio 1600, subito dopo che la lanterna era stata danneggiata. Il restauro di quella fu affidato a Gherardo Mechini, che lo completò in un tempo assai breve; utilizzò un complesso sistema di ponteggi e dispositivi di sollevamento. In un contesto di generale esaltazione della storia dell’arte fiorentina, in queste pagine si leggono parole di estrema lode per la bellezza e lo splendore della cupola e della lanterna, un'opera di altissimo ingegno la cui maestà suscita in chi la guarda "primo laetitia, deinde, cum appropinquant, admiratio, postremo stupor". L'esaltazione si estende ovviamente all'artefice, Filippo Brunelleschi, che, si dice, esprime la razionalità nell'arte attraverso l'esempio degli antichi. A sostegno di una teoria che esalta le origini del rinascimento fiorentino, Bocchi sembra chiamare in causa anche Michelangelo Buonarroti "iure optimo" che, accingendosi alla costruzione della cupola del Sacrario Laurenziano, afferma, rispondendo a chi glielo chiedeva, che nessun architetto aveva fatto di meglio dopo l'artificio di Filippo. Francesco Bocchi (1548-1618) fu un erudito italiano che, soggiornando a Firenze, scrisse una guida delle bellezze della città di Firenze, e fu autore anche di un'opera sulla musica e di una sulla statua di San Giorgio di Donatello. (Vedi voce in DBI). Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446), architetto, ingegnere escultore fiorentino, attende ai lavori della cupola del Duomo di Firenze a partire dal 1418 e fino alla sua morte, al principio offrendo la sua consulenza per risolvere la soluzione della costruzione della cupola assieme al Ghiberti e a Battista d'Antonio, in qualità di "provveditore alla costruzione della cupola". La cupola presentava un tamburo ottagono che insisteva su una struttura gotica, il cui sistema di forze Brunelleschi volle coordinare e risolvere, attraverso la cupola, nella lanterna che la chiude.

While she did not know the bacterial theory of infectious diseases she realized that absolute cleanliness fresh air pure water light and efficient drainage are the surest means of preventing them"' Garrison History of Medicine p. 773 quoted in Norman Library of Science and Medicine 1600. On her return from the Crimean War a public subscription was raised to found a school of nursing. Notes on Nursing was published six months before the school opened and was intended 'not as a textbook but as a book of hints for those nursing in the hospital ward and in the domestic sick room. The principles of hygiene and sanitation which Nightingale had applied with such success in the military hospital at Scutari in the Crimea were fundamental. Notes on Nursing described in great practical detail the nurse's duties in supplying her patient's needs and it indicated a new and more responsible role for nurses one that required proper training and medical knowledge.
