Abstract
I have been traveling to Italy since 1964. My first excursion was a road trip with my wife Suzanne (Nicoletti). It was an example of what I call ‘Naive Tourism,’ as we understood little about Italy, other than what we had learned from popular media. Most of my many subsequent ‘Scholar Tourism’ expeditions have been visual studies of Italian vernacular landscapes and impacts of immigrants to Italy. As to ‘Roots Tourism,’ I have made three ventures that also provided opportunities for visual documentation. These diverse touristic experiences have found expression in a wide variety of academic and journalistic outlets. Sometimes the visits to Italy served as foils for political and social commentary. In this autoethnographic and visually enhanced essay, discussions and examples and of each type of tourism will be provided.
