About this listen

 In this episode, we explore the historical significance of the Grand Tour, an educational journey undertaken by young English aristocrats in the 18th century. It highlights the cultural, artistic, and social experiences that shaped their education and identity, focusing on key destinations such as Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples. The dangers and delights of travel, as well as the eventual decline of the Grand Tour due to political changes and advancements in transportation, are also discussed.
