Constantinople (Italian: Costantinopoli, Milano, Treves, 1877) is Edmondo de Amicis account of Istanbul combining personal anecdotes, visual and aural observations and entertaining historical information. Alberto Brambilla of Sorbonne University wrote that "historians of Italian literature consider him a “minor author" but that the publication of Constantinople was evidence that he was "one best-known Italian authors abroad". The original work had two volumes. Cesare Biseo illustrated an 1882 edition, and Brambilla wrote that this one "will help shape the European imagination towards Istanbul, and the Orient in general.Warning: template has been deprecated.
