Museums, safeguarding and artistic heritage in Naples in the eighteenth century: some reflections

Arturo Fittipaldi


  Abstract

This overview of Bourbon cultural policy in the eighteenth century, from the creation of the Kingdom of Naples to the end of the century, highlights the most significant episodes in the safeguarding of the artistic heritage, some undoubtedly innovative and others less so. Museums, excavations, academies and legislation: these all form parts of a single mosaic, seen in the context of contemporary culture. Despite its numerous contradictions, this period emerges as one of the most pioneering in the history of museology and of attitudes to the ancient world.

Address for correspondence Professor Arturo Fittipaldi, Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, Via Marina 33, 80133 Naples, Italy. fittipaldi{at}unina.it
