The itinerary was very varied, but generally a visit to France and Italy was considered mandatory; educational motivations, conditioned by the fashions of the moment, made the basic itinerary vary. For an English traveler, the Grand Tour used to begin either in Calais, from where they left for Paris, at that time the cultural center of Europe; or in the Netherlands, from where they visited Belgium (mainly Brussels), and later either went to Paris or to Germany. In this case, however, our documentary is focused on the discovery of Italy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5996-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>IMPORTANT: Because the room has a limited capacity, there is a need to have some control over the number of attendees.

Although many of these young men went to university before undertaking the journey, the reputation of English universities had declined and the opportunity to learn foreign languages \u200b\u200bwas rather scarce; the same Adam Smith, Scottish economist and philosopher, stated that the precariousness of the universities was what had made the Grand Tour become a key element of the education of the upper classes. It was also a phenomenon that undoubtedly influenced several artists and writers of the period.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, May 20, we have another session at V\u00eddeo Instan (Viladomat, 239, Barcelona).
