Italy

For my third COVE build I decided to focus on an important geological feature for the Romantic era writers. A common place many of these writers would visit was Italy. Before the French Revolution happened, many higher class British citizens would travel to Italy as a part of their tour of Europe, a way to broaden their perspectives and experience new culture. But, after 1796, Napoleon did not allow British citizens to visit Italy. It was not until he was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 that they were granted access to the country once more.
