Visiting Italy in the second half of the 18th<\/sup> century became one of the rights of passage to the young European aristocrat. Our accounts are full of English Milordi and their \u2018bear keepers\u2019, teacher\/guardians who were engaged specifically to try to keep the 18-20-year-olds on message and out of trouble.<\/p>\n The Grand Tour was however not a British phenomenon just as many French and German aristocrats travelled south, amongst them Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who left us his memoirs of his trip in 1786-88, and recorded them in 1816.<\/p>\n Unlike the Milordi Goethe travelled in his late 30s, as an established writer and well-connected polymath, but also as somebody who was in the throes of what would be later called a mid-life crisis, which gives us a very different view of the Grand Tour, but also a more informed view of what he was hoping to see and to experience of Rome, Naples, but also Medieval Italy.<\/p>\n Dayschool<\/strong>: Saturday, \u00a017th<\/sup> August 2024<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Time<\/strong>: 11.00\u2013 16.00 GMT<\/p>\n ZOOM LECTURE<\/strong><\/p>\n You can book via the\u00a0MANCENT Booking form<\/strong>\u00a0and pay with cheque or\u00a0 contact Birgitta Hoffmann for the BACS details or a PayPal invoice.<\/p>\n UK residents can also follow\u00a0this link<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to book the course online through this site.<\/p>\n You can also book this course through eventbrite<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
