Ibne Safi’s son Dr. Ahmed Safi (who is the Managing Director of a Software House and himself is a literary person) told me that when he (Ahmed) visited Italy, he was surprised to see Lake Como as it was so truly depicted by Ibne Safi in one of his best serial Adlava. Considering that Ibne Safi never left the Indian Subcontinent, the detailed descriptions he provides of the diverse localities are surprisingly accurate.
