Every artist and traveler such as Romulo Galicano knows a Grand Tour of Europe can be intoxicating. The dull silver light, the heady air, and the iridescence of the palaces and churches afloat between sky and water create a welcome dizziness of the senses, a lightness of spirit that were it not so delicate and ethereal would be unreal. The Grand Tour is an established rite of passage among visual artists. The capstone to the education of young artistic blood, it also provides additional opportunity to broaden horizons, to learn languages, to hone manners, and even on occasion to snoop into foreign affairs of state.
