síndrome de stendhal
  34

It is a psychosomatic condition that occurs when contemplating in one place one or more works of art of great beauty. Emotion generates sweating, palpitations, vertigo, tremors, . . . In Florence (Italy) it has been documented for more than a hundred years by cases of tourists who showed these symptoms, and were described by the Italian psychiatrist Graziella Magherini in the book "La sindrome di Stendhal . Il malessere del viaggiatore di fronte alla grandezza dell'arte" ( "Stendhal syndrome . The traveler's discomfort in the face of the greatness of art.") The name took it from a description in stendhal's travel novel "Rome, Naples et Florence" (1817) where the character recounts the physical emotion of his visit to the Florentine basilica De La Santa Cruz.
