Wolfgang had been received and knighted by the Pope ; he had been granted membership in leading philharmonic societies and had studied with Italy 's greatest music scholar , Giovanni Martini .

The pair had also been accorded wide recognition , moving among the highest Italian nobility . Aside from being honoured by the Pope , Wolfgang had been admitted to the academies of Bologna and Verona , and had studied with Martini . Solomon calls the tour Leopold 's " finest hour and ... perhaps his happiest " .
