Summary

Edmondo de Amicis: Constantinople

with a foreword by Umberto Ecco

"The journey to the city which until that moment was another Rome, a beacon of Christian civilization in the entire Orient, and from that moment a symbol of Ottoman magnificence with basilicas turned into mosques and the same outlines of buildings on the horizon that are slowly but surely changing, is certainly fateful and understandable for a Westerner on a pilgrimage. ... [D]ok as long as Constantinople was the capital of the Christian empire, the Christian world in the West considered it foreign, a focus of ruin and an object of distrust. When it became the center of the Muslim antichrist, little by little, Constantinople became an object of desire, an inspiration of exotic fantasies, the goal of literary expeditions. As long as it was almost the same as the Christian western part of the world, it was not loved, and when it became completely different, it became a temple. peculiarities." Umberto Eco
