Dipinti, incisioni, sculture, oggetti d'arte restituiscono l'immagine di un'Italia amata e sognata da tutta Europa,il Bel Paese in cui affondavano radici comuni Tra la fine del Seicento e la prima metà dell'Ottocento, l'Italia fu la meta privilegiata di letterati, artisti, giovani signori, membri della società nobile e colta europea che, attraverso il "grande viaggio" potevano compiere un percorso educativo e formativo, segno di un preciso status sociale. L'esposizione e il catalogo vogliono giocare un duplice ruolo: da un lato fornire la rappresentazione di un'Italia composita, di struggentebellezza (quale appariva ai visitatori, soprattutto agli artisti che l'hanno rappresentata), tale da descriverla nella loro raffigurazione come una sorta di luogo sospeso, di stratificazione della memoria e del sapere, un fermo-immagine della storia; e dall'altro presentare la documentazione dei protagonisti stessi che fecero sorgere il mito del bel paese". La mostra, curata da Fernando Mazzocca con Stefano Grandesso e Francesco Leone, presenta le seguenti sezioni: Le città del Grand Tour, Il fascino delle rovine antiche, L' Italia mediterranea, Il Vesuvio, Viaggiatori e collezionisti, Gli artisti, La bellezza italiana, Il primato italiano tra l'antico e i grandi maestri moderni, Scultura. Copie e derivazioni dall'antico, La scultura moderna, Oggetti d' arte e manifatture del lusso.

Entre 1701 et 1703, au début de la guerre de Succession espagnole, Henry Bentinck (1682-1726), vicomte Woodstock, et son gouverneur huguenot, Paul Rapin de Thoyras (1661-1725), entreprennent un voyage pédagogique - le Grand Tour - qui devait les conduire de La Haye dans les Provinces-Unies à travers les États allemands jusqu'en Italie. Nous éditons la centaine de lettres connues de la correspondance qu'ils entretiennent au cours de ce voyage, avec le père du jeune homme, Hans Willem Bentinck (1649-1709), comte de Portland. Ces lettres apportent des informations sur tous les aspects de la vie quotidienne des voyageurs - sur les coutumes des Cours et des villes où ils séjournent, sur les bruits qui couraient à l'époque sur les événements de la guerre, sur les contraintes du voyage, sur les aléas du courrier et sur les rapports personnels difficiles entre les trois correspondants. Notre introduction porte sur ces différents aspects de la vie des voyageurs et sur la notion de « vie privée » que véhicule la correspondance. Nous ajoutons à ce corpus deux lettres inédites de Rapin-Thoyras à Woodstock de l'année 1721 ainsi que plusieurs lettres d'aristocrates qui envoient à Portland leurs commentaires sur le comportement de son fils. -- Quatrième de couverture

Henry "Monty" Montague was bred to be a gentleman. His passions for gambling halls, late nights spent with a bottle of spirits, or waking up in the arms of women or men, have earned the disapproval of his father. His quest for pleasures and vices have led to one last hedonistic hurrah as Monty, his best friend and crush Percy, and Monty's sister Felicity begin a Grand Tour of Europe. When a reckless decision turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt, it calls into question everything Monty knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores.
