From the late 17th century until around the 1760s, classical nostalgia and the viewing and recording of classical remains became major occupations for aristocratic young men who went on the ‘Grand Tour’. In Rome, for example, some British visitors counted and measured the huge number of ancient columns and obelisks still visible in the city. The wealthiest brought back antiquities, including stones with Latin inscriptions, and redesigned their gardens to display them. More significantly, such travels also encouraged those who went to redefine their own origins and native identities within a wider European context. The taste for the reproductions of ancient monuments involved also the sculptures of Middle Age. -
