A history podcast retracing the journeys of my great great grandfather, uncovering the stories, people, and places that shaped his Victorian world. In this yuletide episode of A Grand Tour with my Great Great Grandad, William continues his journey through 1840s northern Italy by stagecoach. On his way he encounters a fine granite bridge built on the orders of Napoleon over the Ticino river, the ladies of Lombardy with their extravagant headdresses and has a not so close shave with a Milanese barber.
