Italian Journey

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe · 1816

Goethe spent two years in Italy between 1786 and 1788, and the journey transformed him. His account — published decades later from his diaries — is the founding document of the Grand Tour as spiritual and aesthetic education. For Goethe, encountering classical antiquity and Renaissance art was not tourism but revelation: the discovery of what European civilization was for.
