What is Grand Tourism?
フィレンツェ （イタリア・トスカーナ州）
イタリア中部のフィレンツェは、15〜16世紀に「ルネサンス」が花開いた西洋文明の原点であり、今なお「芸術の都」として世界的に認識されている。レオナルド・ダ・ヴィンチ、ミケランジェロ、ラファエロ、ボッティチェリらが活躍し、芸術・科学・哲学など多分野に変革をもたらした。
この都市の特筆すべき点は、街全体が文化財として機能していること。建築や宗教美術が日常風景に溶け込み、歩くだけで歴史と美に触れられる稀有な空間である。実際、フィレンツェ歴史地区はユネスコ世界遺産に登録されている。
さらに、王権や宗教に依存せず、市民階級のパトロネージュ（支援）によって芸術が育まれた点も特徴である。特にメディチ家は、文化と経済が結びつくモデルを生み出した。
1. The origins of modern travel - What is Grand Tourism?
「キリストの洗礼」（ヴェロッキオ、ダ・ヴィンチ他）
中央：イエス・キリスト 左：聖ヨハネ
The origin of current tourism is said to be Britain's "Grand Tourism'' in the 18th century.
Tourism in this era was a time when the steam engine had not yet been invented, so there were no steam locomotives or cars (the invention of the steam locomotive gave rise to the modern image of mass tourism).
Therefore, sightseeing at that time was mainly done by horse-drawn carriage or on foot. You might think that it would not be possible to travel very long distances if you mainly traveled by horse-drawn carriage or on foot, but at the time, the Grand Tourism of England was mainly a journey from England across the sea to France and Italy. The travel periods were long, ranging from two months to several years.
