About this title
Employing a rich and visually stunning archive of art, illustrations, interviews and elegant photography, this documentary brings to life the origins of modern 'tourism'. It all started with Northern European aristocrats and nobility travelling to Italy in search of 'the origins of beauty'. A visit to Italy became known as 'A Grand Tour' and was regarded as an essential experience in a person's education.
