The Traveler's Syndrome: Diary of Florence is an essay by Stendhal that is part of his work Rome, Naples and Florence, originally published in 1817. In this text, Stendhal shares his philosophy of intelligent and sensitive travel, distilled in the episode he experiences when leaving the church of Santa Croce in Florence. The well-known Stendhal syndrome, coined by the Florentine psychiatrist Graziella Margherini, describes the overwhelming emotion felt by some travelers when contemplating the beauty of art. Stendhal, who lived in Italy for seven years, shows us his particular way of seeing that country that he loved so much, inviting us to travel with an intelligent and intense look, conceiving travel as observation, fun, food for the soul and inner adventure.
Marie-Henri Beyle, better known by his pen name Stendhal, was a French writer. Best known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir and La Chartreuse de Parme, he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his characters' psychology and considered one of the early and foremost practitioners of realism. A self-proclaimed egotist, the neologism for the same characteristic in his characters was "Beylism".
