__NOINDEX__ GlobalContributions // de:Grand Tour / fr:Grand Tour Origins (why England?) La nascita di un'idea del viaggio come strumento di formazione, come mezzo di scambio e commercio intellettuale che, tramite il confronto, fa nascere e progredire la coscienza critica e la consapevolezza del viaggiatore, ha origine in Inghilterra e da lì si irradia. La predisposizione della cultura inglese all'empirismo determina la preferenza per l'esperienza diretta in luogo dei dogmatismi del sapere di cui la tradizione scolastica medievale era stata campione.



After the advent of steam-powered transportation around 1825, the Grand Tour custom continued, but it was of a qualitative difference — cheaper to undertake, safer, easier, open to anyone. During much of the 19th century, most educated young men of privilege undertook the Grand Tour. Germany and Switzerland came to be included in a more broadly defined circuit.

John Northall nel 1752 // In February 1752 Northall went to Minorca, and thence embarked for Leghorn. Instead of making the usual tour of Italy, he first visited the principal cities of Tuscany, and, after a cursory visit to Rome, went to Naples. Then, after a more lengthened stay in Rome, he went to Loretto, Bologna, Venice, Mantua, Parma, and Modena, and returned to Leghorn, whence he sailed for Genoa. From Genoa he went by sea to Villafranca, and on by land to Marseilles. // A posthumous account of his Italian tour was published in July 1766, entitled Travels through Italy; containing new and curious Observations on that Country. … With the most authentic Account yet published of capital Pieces in Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture that are to be seen in Italy, &c., making up eight volumes.[1] This work has been criticised as closely following the previous travels of J. G. Keysler.
