Subject
In a passage from his work Pictures from Italy (1846), Charles Dickens (1812-1870) describes the impressions aroused by a walk along the Via Appia, in a succession of ruins of tombs, columns, arches, temples and aqueducts that lie in a state of neglect. The landscape outlined is dominated by ruin and desolation.
