During the 18th century, the practice of mineralogical travels became widespread throughout Europe. Between 1760 and 1764, Marco Carburi, professor of chemistry at the University of Padua, was commissioned by the Mining Board of the Republic of Venice to visit excavation sites and metallurgical plants in Hungary, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The aim of his travels was to collect knowledge and acquire experience in this field, as well as to make the acquaintance of important representatives of the scientific community of the time, and with whom he later corresponded, such as Wallerius and Cronstedt. In Sweden Carburi also encountered the great naturalist Linnaeus, who became one of his correspondents and the latter requested his opinion on the mineralogical system he had devised.
