Abstract

Between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, some new cultural relations between Bologna and Naples developed a new dialogue between the two cities, focusing on new scientific discoveries and academic disciplines. From this moment on, Naples and the South become a pole of attraction in the reflections of intellectuals and artists of the Bolognese circles. Thanks to the Institute of Sciences and the Studio in Bologna, it begins a production and a collection of texts, images and objects that refer to the charm of the coastal city. If some of these materials have already been analyzed individually, the paper aims to set a broader reflection that recomposes a network of correspondence; it also identifies the attention on Naples during the eighteenth century within the main figurative genres and collectors who animate the Bolognese artistic culture.
