Take a journey with some British Aristocrats over 300 years ago. Thomas and Rob talk about the famous Grand Tour of Europe and how Rome and its famous fountains and piazzas fit into this magnificent experience for the nobility of England and much of Northern Europe. We delve into the the area where they lived between the Trevi Fountain and Piazza del Popolo and the heart of their "English Corner" near the Spanish Steps. Learn about why the Romantics would stay in the Eternal City for years on end. We also talk about TE Travel Tips with Thomas and what he thinks is needed to have a perfect Trip when you come to Italy.
