- Creator: Marsh, Caroline Crane, 1816-1901.
- Date Created: 1863
- Description: Tensions between the major European powers, a French victory in Puebla, draft riots in New York City, and the American Civil War battles of the summer of 1863 serve as the backdrop for this diary. The Marshes receive visits at Piobesi from several friends, including writer and journalist Anna Blackwell, diplomat John A. Kasson, and journalist William James Stillman. They also take a lengthy trip into the Alps, hiking several mountains during their travels. George Perkins Marsh finishes the manuscript for Man and Nature, and he and his wife agree to lease the Casa d’Angennes again for the winter. Topics in this diary include Italian agriculture, tourism and hospitality in Italy and the Alps, gossip and etiquette in Italian high society, renting and occupying real estate in Italy, King Victor Emmanuel, the experiences of the Italian peasantry, nineteenth-century attitudes towards insanity, nineteenth-century (American) Independence Day celebrations, expatriate attitudes towards the American Civil War, and the treatment of American soldiers during the Civil War. This diary covers several topics relating to religion, as well, including Irish Catholicism, the Pope, the overlap between Church and State in Italy, Catholic attitudes towards Protestantism, conversion, and religious celebrations.
