[Jens Börner]

Hello John,

Francesco di Marco Datini, the italian merchant of the late 14th =
century,
from whom survived lots of personal letters, and his friends mention =
italian
landscape and their thoughts on them several times.  (Literature e.g.:
"Merchant of Prato: Francesco di Marco Datini", Origo, Iris)
They cover all three aspects you asked for.

With kind regards,
