Istituti Santa Paola, Mantua 18-19 May 2022

Organized by Gabriele Barucca, Gigliola Gorio, and Debora Trevisan

Proposals due by 15 January 2022

Through the analysis of significant and unpublished case studies, this conference will explore issues and dynamics related to the collecting and reuse of art objects in and around Mantua in the 18th and 19th centuries, during the crucial period between the fall of the Gonzaga and the beginning of Austrian domination. Proposals can be sent by art historians, numismatists, palethnologists, archaeologists, naturalists, and archivists—at any stage of their careers. Submissions should be sent to Gigliola Gorio (gigliola.gorio@unicatt.it) and Debora Trevisan (debora.trevisan@beniculturali.it) by the 15th of January 2022.

Organized by Gabriele Barucca, Gigliola Gorio, and Debora Trevisan, the conference is supported by the Soprintendenza Archeologia Belle Arti e Paesaggio per le province di Cremona, Lodi and Mantova in collaboration with the Catholic University of Milan and with the support of Istituti Santa Paola (Mantua).
