Patrick Brydone’s Tour through Sicily and Malta, first published in 1773,was a primary guide-book for all those travellers who reached Sicily fromNorthern Europe for the first time. Thanks to Brydone’s enthusiastic survey,Sicily and especially Messina became part of the itinerary of the Italian GrandTour. Regular flows of travellers arrived. During the Napoleonic Wars andmostly during the British Decade (1806-1815) in Sicily, when His Majesty’smilitary forces occupied the Bourbons’ island and protected it from a possibleFrench invasion, Messina became the site of the British military head-quarters;at the same time, its port was either the final destination or the starting pointfor many travellers, whose striking descriptions helped build a new identity forMessina and put the city among the most favoured destinations of the GrandTour in the Mediterranean. A strong connection was then created between theSicilian town and England, a connection that lasted over ‘the long nineteenthcentury’.
