Pinnock set out from England in March 1791 with his wife and three daughters, Mary (b. 1774), Elizabeth (b. 1776), and Lucretia (b. 1779). Their itinerary is given in his journal.1 They spent much time in Pisa but, becoming 'sickly', they moved to Florence in July 1792. In August Pinnock left his wife and daughters to return to England on business, passing through Venice on 5 September,2 but he rejoined his family in Rome in January 1793. In February they moved to Naples; they rented the 'Grand Summer Floor' of nineteen apartments in the Crocelli and Pinnock took up bathing during the summer. Sarah Bentham, who met them in November, said the Pinnocks were in Naples for the education of their daughters.3 The only works of art they appear to have bought were some prints by Georg Hackert. They left Naples on 29 December with a new puppy 'of the King of Naples's breed', and arrived in Rome a few days later, staying at Zacharia's in the Via Conditta. Mrs Bentham met them again in Rome in January.4 They left Rome on 25 April 1794 and travelled north through Bologna, Padua, Venice and Verona; they were presumably the 'Mr Pinoche con Figlie' / 'Pinoch con sua moglie e tre figlie' listed in Venice on 13 May and 1 July 17945 - though their journal states they had arrived back in England on 10 July.
