    During sick leave from Basel, Nietzsche undertook his first major Italian journey and stayed for an extended period in Sorrento, participating in the intellectual circle around Malwida von Meysenbug. The cited chronology places the Italian journey within Nietzsche's October 1876–September 1877 leave; the quote supports only year-level precision for Sorrento.
