The work captures the author’s observations and experiences as he explores various regions of Italy and Tunisia, focusing on cultural events, local traditions, and scenery. Through detailed accounts, Freund provides a vivid portrayal of the landscapes and festivals that characterize these places. The opening of the book introduces readers to the lively atmosphere of Padua during the Bighe horse races, a local tradition with roots dating back centuries. Freund describes the excitement of the spectators as they gather in the vast Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, adorned with statues, to watch the races that feature vividly decorated chariots and enthusiastic drivers. The narrative captures not only the visual spectacle but also the jovial and chaotic spirit of the event, including the unique betting culture that intertwines with the festivities, highlighting the deep connection between the local populace and their age-old traditions.
