In this Milan correspondence we follow a traveler through northern Italy and the Simplon route to Chamouni, tracing iconic sights around Milan Cathedral and La Scala, then the Alpine journey to Mont Blanc. The narrative recalls rail, diligence coaches, glacier crossings, and a moonlit ascent to Europe’s highest peak, with vivid vistas of Alps, Italian lakes, and border towns.

A distracted crowd mixed political talk with a dramatic window incident as a girl teetered and fell.
