The diary begins with a presentation of the political circumstances which motivated the diplomatic legation of the cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini. Its main objectives were the wedding of Maria de Medicis to the King of France Henry IV by proxy in Florence, followed by the marriage festivities in Lyons and the diplomatic negotiations for the peace treaty between France and the Duchy of Savoy. Giovanni Battista Agucchi was assigned to the cardinal's suite on behalf of his ailing older brother Girolamo as secretary in charge of his correspondence and of the travel account. The diary starts on 16 September 1600 with the departure of the legation from Rome. At every stop in a city, Agucchi sends also an account to his brother. Two weeks later, his papers are damaged in an accident while crossing the Alps towards Turin. He describes the accident and notes his decision to stop writing the diary and to continue sending his brother the travel accounts by messengers. He will send the damaged papers to Rome, and try to restore them after his return, when he will also integrate the original letters to Girolamo into the diary (fol. 83). The text continues to flow as an uninterrupted narration, in which the 34 letters are identifiable only by the bold date in their closing line. The last letter is dated from Rimini, on March 23, 1601 (fol. 327 verso). The author notes his decision to revert to hasty diary notes, some of which might have been written after his arrival in Rome on April 3rd, after a trip of six months and nine days.
