Description: Map of grand tour taken by William Beckford in 1780, from Londen by boat to Ghent, and again by boat through Holland and Germany down the Rhine to Mannheim. Then he set off by coach for Ulm, Augsburg and Munchen, before crossing the border to Innsbruck, Austria. From there he went by horseback over the Brenner pass into Italy. From Trento he went to Bassano del Grappa and Treviso on to Venice. From Venice his itinerary was Vicenza, Verona, Mantua, Reggio, Bologna, Florence (where he took a side trip to Pistoia, Lucca, Pisa and Livorno), Siena, Radicofani, Lago di Bolsena, Viterbo and Lago di Vico, and Rome. After a stay in Rome he went on via Vellitri, Terracina, and Capua, to Naples, where he visited Capri, Vesuvius and Ischia.
