After dropping out of his art studies with Franz von Stuck in Munich, Paul Klee embarked on a journey to Italy with the sculptor Hermann Haller, a friend from his home town of Bern, in October 1901. Visiting the famous cultural sites in Pisa, Rome, Naples, and Florence was still part of the course of studies undertaken by fledgling artists at the beginning of the 20th century. The two stayed in Italy for seven months. Paul Klee, who was 21 years old at the time of the journey, documented his impressions in diaries, postcards, as well as numerous letters, most of which were to his future wife Lili Stumpf in Munich, and his parents in Bern.
