Description
Turin and the British in the Age of the Grand Tour provides a comprehensive examination of the relationship between British travelers and the Italian city of Turin during the height of the Grand Tour period. This academic work, part of the British School at Rome Studies series, investigates how British visitors engaged with Turin’s artistic heritage, intellectual culture, and aristocratic society.
The book explores the motivations behind British interest in Turin, the experiences of Grand Tour participants, and the lasting cultural exchanges that resulted from these encounters. Drawing on primary sources and archival research, the authors analyze how Turin served as an important cosmopolitan hub for British elite education and cultural refinement. The study contributes to broader understandings of 18th-century travel culture, cross-cultural exchange, and the formation of British taste and aesthetics during this transformative period.
