Abstract

The view of Catanzaro, the old capital of Calabria Ultra and now the regional capital, contained in Voyage offers a starting point of analysis to explain historical structure and urban transformations. The drawing documents the portion of the city depicted, although its designer, Claude-Louis Châtelet, wanted to narrate the picturesque location. Comparison with the previous and subsequent iconography allows us to quickly view the changes suffered by the city and, above all, the change of its image and its identity.
