NEXT 12th November Richard Henderson of Historica Tours will tell us about the
Grand Tour and Rome in the 18th Century.
Richard Henderson runs Italian tours on artistic themes
The rich and aristocratic young gentlemen from Britain and
other North European countries headed south with their tutors for education,
hedonism and to load up with the art of ancient and modern Rome for their
mansions. They found a museum city, a
well established art (and fakes) market as well as brothels and other
delights.
