Valery was unanimously hailed for the accuracy of his travels, particularly distinguished for his literary research, the examination and description of libraries, such as that of Ravenna, the Laurentian Library, and so on. This new trip to Italy is not only another trip, it is led by a clear literary and artistic vision (Valery was indeed a curator of the Crown libraries, and will be librarian of the Palace of Versailles). We will also appreciate the great precision in the description of the monuments.
