He authored numerous works, including "The Cities of Umbria," "Venice and Venetia," and "The Pageant of Siena," which combined detailed historical research with vivid personal travel narratives. Hutton's writing style was marked by a deep appreciation for the art, architecture, and culture of the regions he visited. His works remain valuable for their insightful portrayal of Italy's cultural and historical landscapes in the early 20th century.
