Summary:

This collection of essays offers the first comprehensive examination of the English community of Rome from the late fifteenth century to the early decades of the nineteenth century. It explains how and why this migrant group decided to settle in the complex and multilayered context of the foreign communities that inhabited the Eternal City. From the pilgrims of the late medieval period to the artists of the Grand Tour, the volume assesses the experience of English migrants in the cultural, diplomatic, and religious context of the capital of early modern global Catholicism.
