He continued to study medicine in Edinburgh and London . He received a medical degree in London ( 1774 ), continued his studies in Paris . In addition to medicine, he worked in London and Paris, archeology, oriental languages, became a member of several scientific societies. It is believed that during this period S. R. Vorontsov [1] , apparently, defend Italinsky in front of A. A. Bezborodko and the future chancellor chose to be tutors for his nephew V. P. Kochubei , who was then abroad.
Being in 1780 in Paris , Italinsky was introduced by F.
