Identities in contact: Italian look over the Iberian reality in the Cosimo III de’ Medici’s tour chronicles
Abstract
The texts on the trip that Cosimo de Medici made to Spain and Portugal between September 1668 and March 1669, which are mostly unpublished, are a source of great interest to deepen in the intercultural relations between Italy and the Iberian Peninsula. The authors of the travel diaries describe traditions related to local cultures, religion and its manifestations, female fashion and cuisine of the countries that have been visited, which provides testimonies that have not been considered by experts in the field yet. Hence, through these testimonies it is possible to study the linguistic contacts with those countries as well as their cultural diversity.
