Summary:The Grand Tour, a journey through Europe aimed at culture and leisure, was a common practice between the 17th century and the first quarter of the 19th century. This book revisits the stages in an itinerary that left profound traces in European culture. The opening essay by Nicholas Foulkes details the importance of the Grand Tour for international - and especially British - culture, mentioning examples and echoes that have reached our time. The following essay, by Fernando Mazzocca, outlines the artistic coordinates of the Grand Tour, while Attilio Brilli's text proceeds to explore lesser-known and singular aspects of this journey, with an original selection of literary excerpts making up an astonishing travel anthology. Thus, readers will discover how carriages were equipped for this type of journey and what mishaps occurred along the way, as well as the wonder of coming into contact with works of art, artists and cities. Accompanying the texts so as to illustrate and complete them, a detailed collection of images depicting works by the most prominent artists of the time.
