According to the Letters, Tolkien and his daughter Priscilla visited Italy from late July to mid-August 1955. In a letter dated 7th September, a reply to questions asked by a reader, Richard Jeffrey, Tolkien apologised for the delay in his reply, saying that the former's enquiry 'came while I was away, in Gondor (sc. Venice), as a change from the North Kingdom'. (Letter 168)
