The Promotion of the Arts in the Italian Pre-Unitarian States. From the Age of Reforms to Unification [sources, works, documents in a classic study by Sandra Pinto, 1982].
On the occasion of the republication of Sandra Pinto's long essay devoted to La promozione delle arti negli stati italiani. Dalle Riforme all'Unità, which came out for Einaudi a few months ago, i.e., a text that is considered a classic of studies on Italian figurative culture in the 18th and 19th centuries, this course intends to retrace the manifold artistic events of the Italian peninsula during the latter 18th and early 19th centuries, using the filter of the history of art institutions (promotion of art in the courts, academies, museums, exhibitions), patronage, private collecting, and, especially, historiography, art criticism, and the many sources of art literature, especially odeporic literature and epistolography (which represent the most conspicuous and generous ones). The lectures will start from the political geography of the Italian peninsula, analyzing the artistic situation of the different states, from Savoy's Piedmont to the Venetian Republic, from the Papal States to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Through the analysis of worksites, conjunctures, patrons, collectors and artists, the lectures will try to reassemble a unified picture, yes, but as articulated as possible, of the functioning of the arts system before the unification of Italy in 1861, roughly from Winckelmann's activity in Italy to that of Pietro Selvatico, and thus introduce to the study of artists and works of art in Italy between the 18th and 19th centuries.
