Arti figurative e musica nei periodici di area settentrionale dell'Ottocento e del Novecento

Il progetto ha mirato a raccogliere in un database tutti i dati relativi alle riviste d’arte e sull’arte e la musica dall’Ottocento alla fine del Novecento e a raccogliere negli Atti di un Convegno di Studi svoltosi a Santa Maria Capua Vetere (sede staccata dell’Università Federico II di Napoli) gli studi filologici e le analisi critiche risultanti dalle indagini condotte sulle varie riviste dai singoli partecipanti alla ricerca.
The research on art and music reviews will implement the existent data bank going through the art and music reviews of the Venetian and Northern area in the early nineteenth century; of extending the search to the second half of the nineteenth century dealing with new periodicals. From the critical point of view it's necessary to analyse attentively, comparing the two historical moments, before and after the Unity, the urgent requirements of the Italian character of the art, the reclamation of the tradition as a determinant element of identity (or rather its refusal in the name of an international character of the modern), the connection with arts and the problem of the decorative arts and the public property conservation. Following this line the musical search will dwell in particular upon the reform of the sacred music that is a heavily ideologized movement, able to use the history of the discipline in a present perspective.
