Attention to the issue of disabilities has intensified in recent
decades, prompting States and organizations to respond with
appropriate measures to promote inclusion of persons with
disabilities in all social environments. This book's thesis is that
the seeds of this inclusivity were planted by the development of
tourism for people with disabilities in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. The book explores the development of tourism
for people with disabilities in Italy during this time period. It
adds an important tessera to the mosaic of international literature
that has rarely considered the history of tourism and the history
of disabilities in a unified manner. While certainly of great
interest to an Italian audience, the discussion of the various
responses taking form in Italy to the needs of persons with
disabilities, and the role these responses have played in the
development of mass tourism generally, is also quite pertinent to
international contexts. This book is based largely on unpublished
sources. The authors' hope is that the presentation of these new
materials combined with the innovative approach of a historical
study of tourism through the lens of disabilities will open up
international scholarly debate and discussion drawing in
contributions from all disciplines.

This book analyzes the roots of one of the main human activities
that can be developed in natural and agricultural ecosystems:
tourism. Attention to natural and agricultural ecosystems and their
conservation has intensified in recent decades, responding to
increasing social sensitivity to the environment, as also witnessed
by Agenda 2030. The book explores the development of tourism in
natural and agricultural ecosystems in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, when some of its essential features derived
from the practices of exploration, scientific study, business,
healing practices, and also a desire for personal growth. This
research is intended to open up international scholarly debate and
discussion and draw in contributions from all disciplines and
geographical areas. In addition, it intends to add an important
piece to the mosaic of international literature that has rarely
considered the origins of nature and rural tourism in an array of
practices not always embodying a stated intent of recreation. This
book is based on handwritten documents and travelogues circulating
during the period in question. Most of the travel experiences
analyzed regard men and women of European descent, but their
travels were global, with ecosystems considered on all populated
continents. This volume is essential reading for students and
scholars alike interested in tourism history and the history of
science and travel.
The late eighteenth century and subsequent Napoleonic Era witnessed
a turning point in the establishment of agricultural science as a
well-defined discipline in northern Italy. In this book, Martino
Lorenzo Fagnani traces these developments by reviewing the
correspondence of naturalists and agriculturists as well as the
research plans of universities, academies, societies, institutes,
and governments. He explores the establishment of a broad knowledge
network encompassing all of Europe while also investigating the
reasons behind the exchange of seeds, the establishment of spaces
for experimentation such as scientific gardens and experimental
fields, and the organization of specialized journals and
monographs. This work represents an important contribution to the
historiography of Italian agricultural science, filling a
significant gap in our knowledge of related developments.
