Identità e diversità nella stampa periodica romana di fine Settecento: «Memorie per le belle arti» (1785-1788) e il «Giornale delle belle arti e della antiquaria, musica, e poesia» (1784-1788)
Identity and diversity in the Roman art journals of the late 18th century: «Memorie per le belle arti» (1785-1788) and «Giornale delle belle arti e della antiquaria, musica, e poesia» (1784- 1788)

Summary/Abstract: The contribution aims to illustrate two Roman art magazines of the late 18th century (part of my PhD thesis): «Memorie per le belle arti» and «Giornale delle belle arti e della antiquaria, musica, e poesia». They are considered as a direct filiation of the scholarly journals of the 18th century, or, better to say, experimental rib of the contemporary literary sheets, but with the substantial difference that while the latters ranged in all fields of human knowledge, these two art magazines restricted their interests to the artistic field, especially the Roman one. Starting from the historical-cultural milieu oflate 18th-century in Rome, this contribution intends to illustrate the common elements and the diversity of these two art newspapers, which are considered among the first Italian art magazines. Finally, the analysis intends to take into consideration the editorial line of the two journals, their page layout, their editorial teams and theirreaders.
