Through the testimonies of artists, men of letters, nobles, and the well-to-do, we immerse ourselves in the synthesis of art, nature and history represented by Italy at a time when it was the privileged destination of members of European cultured society between the end of the 17th century and the first half of the 19th century.
Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence and Naples, glimpses of the countryside, the Alps, Vesuvius with Pompeii, vestiges of Magna Graecia and the Empire, to the rural scenes and festivals of popular tradition, represented a must for lovers of painting, sculpture, architecture and landscape design.
