Il racconto di un “Grand Tour morcelé”

Suggestioni dal “Diario dei Viaggi” di Antonio Rosmini conoscitore d’arte

Abstract

This paper focuses its attention on Rosmini’s relationship with art, especially painting. Through the analysis of Rosmini’s Diario dei Viaggi [Travel Diary] – a private journal of aesthetic and historico-artistic character, written between the years 1820 and 1854 in many Italian cities (including Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples) – the author reveals the little-known profile of a Rosmini connoisseur of art, to whom a reliable, classical taste provides a valid key of interpretation for medieval, Gothic and Baroque works of art.
