From the Ex-Khedive of Egypt gracing Naples with his presence to foreign guests admiring art at the Louvre in 1880, these encounters reveal tales of curiosity and fascination. In one engraving, we witness an intriguing scene as Corps etrangers des voies aeriennes come to aid a child choking on a fruit pit.

Traveling back in time to Herculaneum, we encounter a woman surrounded by exotic animals in her garden. This small but mighty figure defied societal norms and embraced diversity by nurturing these creatures from distant lands. As our gaze shifts towards Naples' Hotel des Etrangers, we meet Mrs. Jane St John, a British visitor immersing herself in Italian culture. Through her windowpane or within the hotel's walls, she experiences moments both enchanting and mundane – each contributing to her understanding of this foreign land. The Cactus back room at Hotel des Etrangers becomes another setting where stories unfold. Here, conversations intertwine as travelers share anecdotes about their journeys across borders – bridging gaps between cultures and forming connections beyond nationality. Delving further into history's tapestry reveals an engraving capturing the Ex-Khedive of Egypt during his visit to Naples in 1879. This regal figure symbolizes diplomatic ties and cross-cultural exchanges that transcend geographical boundaries. Artistic renderings also provide insight into foreigners' perspectives. R. W Macbeth's painting "Les Etrangers" invites us into scenes where diverse individuals gather together despite differences – celebrating unity amidst diversity.
