Abstract

Carl Wilhelm Schnars’ A Journey through the Neapolitan Province of Basilicata (1858) is a travelogue written after the tremendous 1857 earthquake in Basilicata. In its work, Schnars combines firsthand impressions with secondhand reports, transforming the ruins of Basilicata into symbols of fragility and neglect. His figurative “sickle of death” evokes both poetic devastation and a critique of Bourbon-era mismanagement.
