Read & Learn Italian: Grand Tour in Italy: A Journey of Formation Inspiration

Join us for a reading on the Grand Tour In Italy. "The Grand Tour was not simply a vacation, but a true rite of passage and a crucial formative experience for the European aristocracy and upper middle class, especially between the 17th and 19th centuries. Primarily intended for young men (and later also women) of good family, the journey was the final stage of their education. The goal was twofold: to acquire direct knowledge of the roots of Western civilization—Classical antiquity and the Renaissance—and to refine their aesthetic taste and social manners."

Audience: For English speakers who are learning Italian at the intermediate level - the reading was developed using AI assistance.

The Plan:

1. We will all read the presentation in Italian within smaller groups/breakout rooms.
2. We will translate the passages into English.
3. We will rejoin the main room for discussion, and when available, hear from native Italians' personal experiences.
