The phenomenon of the Grand Tour, which began at the end of the 16th century and continued until the 19th, redefined the concept of “Travel”, which became a form of personal enrichment through knowledge of places and people. Richard Lassels, in his guidebook “ The Voyage of Italy”(1670), urged young people of his time to undertake the Italian Journey, inspiring them to become new Ulysses, whose wisdom and cunning came precisely from knowing many peoples and cities and experiencing their customs. In Umbria, the appeal wasn’t limited to cities; entire regions were part of the Grand Tour. In particular, the areas around Terni, Narni and Orvieto, rich in breathtaking natural landscapes and significant classical heritage, became sought-after destinations for these erudite travellers.
