English Translation: " Report of the Journey Made by Our Lord Pope Gregory XVI To the Provinces of Marittima and Campania in May 1843 Written by Prince Massimo "

" Relazione Del Viaggio Fatto Da N.S. PP. Gregorio XVI Alle Provincie Di Marittima E Campania Nel Maggio MDCCCXLIII, published in Rome by Alessandro Monaldi in 1843, is an elegant firsthand account by Prince Massimo chronicling the papal journey of Pope Gregory XVI through the provinces of Marittima and Campania. The narrative records the Pontiff's travels, receptions, and blessings offered to the people and clergy along the route, reflecting both the ceremonial grandeur of papal visitation and the deep religious devotion of the local populations. It offers vivid descriptions of landscapes, towns, and ecclesiastical events, highlighting the unity between the papacy and the Italian provinces during a period of growing social and political change.

Beyond a simple travelogue, the work serves as a document of papal diplomacy and benevolent authority in the mid-19th century. Prince Massimo's writing combines reverence for Gregory XVI's piety with admiration for his efforts to strengthen the Church's moral influence across its territories. Rich in historical detail and infused with patriotic and spiritual sentiment, the Relazione stands as both a celebration of papal leadership and a reflection of pre-unification Italy's religious culture, offering modern readers insight into the intersection of faith, ceremony, and governance during the late Papal States era."
