This volume is part of a broader exploration of Italy, delving into its historical landmarks and cultural heritage, particularly through the author's experiences in regions like Umbria, Sabina, and Rome. The work emphasizes the historical significance of specific sites and the influence of various historical figures and events on the development of Italian civilization. The opening of the text presents the historical context of the abbey of Subiaco, one of the earliest Benedictine monasteries in the West. It describes the abbey's founding, its importance during the Middle Ages, and its intricate relationship with Rome and the temporal power of the papacy. The author details the contributions of Saint Benedict and the monastic community in preserving classical culture and advancing civilization amidst the chaos of the post-Roman world, establishing a foundation for monasticism that would spread throughout Europe. This rich historical backdrop sets the tone for Gregorovius's exploration of Italy, inviting readers to appreciate the intersection of geography, history, and spirituality in the shaping of Italian identity.
