The foreign travellers who visited Monreale between the 18th and 19th centuries described it accurately, both artistically and for its landscape. Of particular interest are the descriptions of the Decorative Arts then housed in the Cathedral, the subject of recent studies on Sicilian Decorative Arts in the diaries of foreign travellers to Sicily between the 17th and 19th centuries. The exhibition Monreale in the Eyes of the Grand Tour - Works and Places between Images of Foreign Travellers and Commissioning by Archbishops, held in the Sala San Placido of the Diocesan Museum from 7 September 2022 to 6 January 2023, is in continuity with these studies.
I viaggiatori stranieri che tra XVIII e XIX secolo visitarono Monreale la descrissero accuratamente, sia dal punto di vista artistico che da quello paesaggistico. Particolarmente interessanti sono le testimonianze relative alle Arti Decorative allora custodite nel Duomo, oggetto di studi recenti sulle Arti Decorative siciliane nei diari dei viaggiatori stranieri in Sicilia tra XVII e XIX secolo. Con questi studi si è posta in continuità la mostra Monreale negli sguardi del Grand Tour - Opere e luoghi tra immagini dei viaggiatori stranieri e committenza degli Arcivescovi, allestita presso la Sala San Placido del Museo Diocesano dal 7 settembre 2022 al 6 gennaio 2023.

Abstract
The foreign travellers who visited Monreale between the 18th and 19th centuries described it accurately, both artistically and for its landscape. Of particular interest are the descriptions of the Decorative Arts then housed in the Cathedral, the subject of recent studies on Sicilian Decorative Arts in the diaries of foreign travellers to Sicily between the 17th and 19th centuries. The exhibition Monreale in the Eyes of the Grand Tour - Works and Places between Images of Foreign Travellers and Commissioning by Archbishops, held in the Sala San Placido of the Diocesan Museum from 7 September 2022 to 6 January 2023, is in continuity with these studies.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
