The Last Grand Tour: Contemporary Phenomena and Strategies of Living in Italy (edited by Michael Obrist and Antonietta Putzu; Park Books, 2023) is a critical study of contemporary Italy from the perspective of housing.
For much of the 16th to early 19th centuries, the Grand Tour of Italy was an important part of European aristocrats’ education. Emulating this tradition, this book takes a close look at today’s Italy, with a focus on the topic of housing as a gauge of political and socioeconomic interrelationships.
