Fortunately Berenson kept a diary and 'The Passionate Sightseer' enables us to enjoy some of his journeys. These diaries record his journeys to North Africa, Sicily and the rest of Italy during the post-war period from 1947 to 1956. He dwells on the grandeur of Leptis Magna on the North African coast, the Byzantine splendor of San Marco in Venice, and the sweeping perspective of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, with this book having 174 illustrations. Above all what emerges is the benefit of Berenson's passionate perception.)
