Set in early April, the story follows Bernard Longueville, a young, contemplative man who has extended his stay in Siena while journeying north from Rome. Enchanted by the Italian spring, he finds himself drawn to sketch the picturesque surroundings, despite initial plans to leave. Staying at a shabby inn, he observes two Anglo-Saxon tourists entering a nearby establishment, particularly noting a young woman among them. This visit marks his first experience in Italy, blending themes of exploration, art, and the allure of travel.
