Vedder did a tour of the Valley of the Tiber in Italy during the summer of 1891 and one of the stops was in the town of Stifone. Vedder had just returned from his trip to the Nile and his journal entries show that this trip renewed his interest in the Italian landscape as he looked for new parts of the counrtyside that he had never seen before.
