Full textThe research project we are presenting focuses on the study and the reconstruction of the personality and artworks of Giulio Benso, a Genoese painter, draftsman and architect between Mannerism and Baroque, a specialist in illusionist decoration. The dispersion of a third of his works, in particular altar paintings and some fresco decorations, combined with the large number of graphic projects of different quality which have been attributed to him in recent decades have generated a bad reputation for his work, too often considered as a second-rate one compared to his contemporaries. In this study, his artistic activity will therefore be analyzed and contextualized using archival documents and ancient sources, from his training at the Academy of Giovanni Battista Paggi, a Genoese cultural environment, to the numerous Ligurian and foreign orders - German and French - assigned to him during his life, in order to highlight the contacts, the relationships with certain artists such as Giovanni Andrea Ansaldo and Giovanni Battista Carlone, the inspirations according to the Lombard, Venetian, Bolognese and Roman schools. The experiences he had and that allowed him to evolve in his work and to communicate his style to the successive generations of painters will also be taken into account. This analysis has been conducted in a precise and rigorous manner, by highlighting the existing documents on the artist, on his life and his works. The in-depth study of all the modern contributions published so far on him, on Genoa and on the Genoese school of the 16th and 17th centuries, has been enriched by documentary research in the various archives establishments of the Liguria region and by the examination of ancient sources, such as guides and manuscripts on the artistic production of the territory, with the aim of establishing the complete artistic activity of the painter, including destroyed paintings and frescoes, in order to highlight its evolution and the relationships with its contemporaries. This work thus presents an introductory part concerning the critical fortune lived by the painter during his life and after his death. This is followed by the second, which is focused on the study of his training at the Paggi Academy and on commissions for paintings and trompe l'oeil decorations received in Liguria. Then, a third chapter is devoted to missions abroad: in Germany, in Weingarten, described through the epistolary relationship between the artist and the sponsor Gabriele Bucellino, thanks to the old documents that were found and the letters transcribed by the heir of Benso, father Lorenzo Sertorio, and in France, in Cagnes-sur-Mer, in Provence, for which the vast iconographic and iconological program of the decor, chosen by the family, with a strong political reference has been studied. This study then presents two catalogs. One devoted to painting and the other to graphic production. The first follows a chronological order by mission, including lost or destroyed orders, thereby seeking to offer a reading of the painter’s artistic investment in the social and cultural framework of Liguria, Germany and France. Long-term orders such as those from the Annunziata del Guastato in Genoa from 1638 to 1647 or those for Weingarten from 1627 to 1667 are processed in their unit to facilitate the analysis of their development. This is followed by the catalog of drawings presented chronologically. The study of Giulio Benso's graphic production requires a rigorous and scientific analysis based on stylistic as well as technical and documentary checks. Studies conducted in the past on the artist's drawings have revealed many attribution problems, which involve reordering. It is therefore proposed to try to establish the complete corpus of his graphic work by re-examining all the sheets attributed to him and those of the Genoese school kept in public and private collections

Full textThe purpose of this study is to show that Stendhal’s and the Goncourt brothers’ appreciation of Italian Baroque art exerted a decisive influence on their own aesthetics. Part one takes a look at Stendhal’s and the Goncourt brothers’ “horizon of expectations”, i. E. Artistic paradigms or references, what literature they read about Italy and Rome as well as writings on art, in particular Baroque art and artists, which inspired Stendhal and helped forge his understanding of Baroque Art. Part two explores four elements of resistance to the Baroque. This study goes on to compare conflicting French views and representations of Baroque art so as to identify Stendhal’s and the Goncourt brothers’ own position along this spectrum. Paradoxically, this set of anti-Baroque prejudices serves to shed light on the particular attraction the Baroque exerted on Stendhal and the Goncourt brothers and which Baroque characteristics are most likely to surface in their novels. The final part of this study draws parallels between the seduction Baroque art exerted on Stendhal and the Goncourt brothers and the way it manifested in their novels as well as between visual and literary Baroque art. Thus, by drawing attention to the presence of Baroque poetics in Stendhal’s and the Goncourt Brothers’ writings, this study sheds new light on their novelistic aesthetics

Full textThe history of the canonisation in the renaissance is characterized by a long silence of the pontifical practice after 1523 and the lutheran condemnations of 1524. Begining again in 1588 and trusted to the congregation of the rites, the canonisation, is marked, in the baroque age by the great number, the opening to the uneuropean world,a new and clear spanish preponderance and a traditional feminine minority (20%). The processes of french and italian women of the XVIIth century-opened before 1700 - and the french benedictines eloges (1679) by. Mere de Blemur offer a varied but homogeneous corpus to study the place of the mystical experiences in the search and the recognition of the sainthood in the XVIIth century. The expression "mystical experience" appears at the end of the end of the XIXth century when positivists and spiritualists are in opposition on the apparitions,ecstasies or visions. Since then,mysticism is given rise to a lot of medical,psychological,philosophical, sociological and historical researches. In the xviith century,the mystical theology, understood in the dionysian tradition such as transmitted by gerson,is a experimental science of God. After a period of crisis in the XVIth century due to the lutheran condemnations, it knows a noteworthy renewal in the baroque age, owing to the spanish carmelitan school and in a spirit of counter-reformation. In the processes of canonisation and in the eloges,the narratives of mystical experiences are numerous

We selected four writers' works whose names are : isabella cortese, moderata fonte, lucrezia marinella and arcangela tarabotti. We studied their writings with an historical porspect in order to witness the feminine condition within the italian ociety of thius time. In a stylistic prospect, our second purpose was to evaluate the influence of the litarary models and these writers' capacity to put their own touch, as women, into their writings. We could realize the existence of a thought about their status as women of letters and about the feminine condition in general. It results in a claiming message which is particularly modern

Full textThis doctorate thesis is based on the study of particular musical aspects bound to the cult to Saint-James-the-Great and to the pilgrimage to St James of Compostelle. It is set in Spain, France and Italy in the XVIIth century and first half of the XVIII th. The historical, political, sociological, cultural and religious links which oppose or bind these three nations at the time of the setting of the Catholic Reformation stemmed from the Council of Trente show that the place held by the routes to Compostelle and St James is more important there than anywhere else at this time. There is a rich bibliography but it doesn’t associate nor synthesize the different aspects of what can constitute an only set of problems. In the same way, no draft of a systematic census of the works of the sacred repertory had been attempted so far whereas the restitution of the works is only exceptional. Therefore, dealing with a set of problems which is based on a spiritual matter through a way which has never been taken – the way of Baroque music – so as to understand it better, the thesis aims at observing, recording and analysing a whole range of the aspects which constitute as many « joists » and in any case a complex framework, especially due to the variety of the sources, their nature and content. Nevertheless, in the light of a renewed methodology, of a wide range of original sources and a whole of musical events and works associated to the cult of St James and the pilgrimage to Compostelle which is also a musical roving, the richness of which is due to the extent of the repertory it aroused as well as the exchanges and encounters it allowed, this research aims at opening new ways which will be taken to enrich knowledge
Esta tesis de doctorado aborda el estudio de ciertos aspectos musicales vinculados con el culto de Santiago el Mayor y la peregrinación a Santiago de Compostela. El marco escogido lo constituye España, Francia e Italia en el siglo XVII y la primera mitad del XVIII. Los vínculos históricos, políticos, sociológicos, culturales y religiosos que unen, u oponen, estas tres naciones en tiempos de la instauración de la Reforma Católica resultante del concilio de Trento, ponen de manifiesto que el papel que desempeñan los Caminos de Santiago y el Apóstol es más importante que en ninguna otra parte en esa época. Existe una abundante bibliografía, pero que no asocia ni sintetiza los diversos aspectos de lo que puede constituir una misma problemática. De la misma manera, ningún esbozo de recuento sistemático de las obras del repertorio sagrado barroco para Santiago había sido hasta ahora intentado, mientras que la restitución de las obras sigue siendo muy puntual. Además, abordando bajo un aspecto hasta ahora no contemplado – el de la música barroca – una problemática fundamentada en un tema espiritual, la tesis intenta, para comprenderla mejor, observar, destacar y analizar todo un conjunto de elementos que constituyen otras tantas « vigas » y en cualquier caso una trama compleja, debido, en particular, a la diversidad de las fuentes, de su naturaleza y contenidos. Sin embargo, a la luz de una metodología renovada, de un amplio abanico de fuentes inéditas y de un conjunto de manifestaciones y obras musicales asociadas con el culto de Santiago y la peregrinación a Compostela, que es también la de un recorrido musical, cuya riqueza depende tanto de la amplitud del repertorio que suscitó como de los intercambios y encuentros que facilitó, esta investigación espera abrir nuevas vías que podrán utilizarse para enriquecer aún más nuestro conocimiento del tema
Vert, Xavier. "Le portrait-charge : image infamante, caricature et contre-figure en Italie, de la Renaissance à l'Age baroque." Paris, EHESS, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011EHES0101.
Full textThe portrait-charge defines itself at the crossroads of historical, anthropological and philosophical disciplines, on the hypothesis of going beyond caricature history into an anthropology of charge. On the one hand, this implies re-examining caricature on the basis of the operations to which it submits the effigy in mobilizing a pragmatic conception of the instance of the viewer. On the other hand, this implies reconceiving the notion of charge, by questionning its status and implementation as well as its various relationships with social practices, beliefs, law, and theology. The general framework of this thesis is the study of the afflictive portrait from the Renaissance up to the threshold of the baroque period. It is, therefore, necessary to consider the charge of images in the perspective of a figurability of outragous and infamous practices. The next step is to assess an element of ambiguity and derision within an aggressive use of the image. The phenomenon of derision is indeed one of the most complex, if one does not strip its individual and social manifestations of its theological implication. Linking caricature to this phenomenon does not simply mean to see in it the opposite of an aesthetic and heroic ideal, but also and above aIl, one of the major forms of comic inversion

Full textThe topic of our research is G. C. Vanini's life and works (1585-1619). Until recently, these have been partially or anachronistically interpreted. That is why we have decided to place them in their proper context, within the age of counter-reformation, or the age of barocco. This was a time strongly conditioned by a "logic of war", a time when imagination was deeply concerned by recurrent metaphors with sceptic connotations that tended to contemplate life as a "dream" and the world as a "theatre". Every deed and writing of this philosopher can be analyzed as an original answer in the history of thought, once they are replaced in their right context, Vanini uses elements from other schools and doctrines from the late renaissance philosophy and builds upon the ruins of a thought in crisis (Aristotelian tradition) that -in its most orthodox version- legitimates the violent ideology of counter-reformation, which is Vanini's main target. His radicalism, as well as his ability for anticipation would explain the controversy that has always accompanied him, under the contradictory labels of "hero" or "damned". It would explain as well his capacity for acting as a catalyst -within the libertine movement- and as a reference difficult to forget when we try to rethink some important subjects related to the origin and consolidation of a certain modern mentality and its inherent contradictions: the conception of the basis and functions of knowledge, the place we assign to nature -and to man in nature-, the relationships between philosophy and religion or philosophy and power, the way to consider the metaphysical concepts or the horizon of transcendence, and the possible basis of an ethical theory that isn't based on religion any longer

Full textThe opera libretto is a privileged, though often ignored, medium for probing the collective psyche of an era and its society. Like other human creations, be they purely intellectual and/or manual, it offers a window, opening a new perspective on a bygone world, and once cleansed of the dirt deposited by the centuries and open, it lets out the light and clamour of another century. The aim will be to reinstall the drammi per musica of George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) in their cultural and social context, to recreate the fullest possible reception of the work and have a chance to get as close as possible to the experience of the original audience. Faced with the silence of the indirect sources, it becomes essential to plunge into the heart of the booklets, to take an interest in the words and images, to give the music its true voice, trying to clarify all that the text implies, suggests, signifies, triggers in the spectator and to try to reconstruct a corpus of cultural references (literary, moral, religious, etc.), that colour the text with multiple nuances, but are often lost to today’s audience. Through five female roles (Partenope, Berenice, Bradamante, Rosmira and Alcina), we will question the representation of women, femaleness and femininity in the light of the notion of female power and its implications on the Italian opera scene in London between 1730 and 1737. We will also attempt to shed further light on this transitional period in the career of the composer, who gradually abandoned Italian opera to devote himself to English oratorio

Full textWe have undertaken to explore, from a social, historical and anthropological point of view, the period of time in which the "baroque" languages of the arts were elaborated by resorting to the metalanguages and the texts of the time. In the very middle of counter reformation, the baroque man -the courtier- was "performing an act" under the eyes of the prince, the clerics and his peers. He had to control his affectivity by knowing himself, i. E. His "soul". He was torn between a reason able to ensure his salvation and an imagination capable of unleashing passions within him -be they concupiscible, weak and as such admitted, or irascible and leading to perdition. By dint of artistic presentations, the prince carried on a civilizing purpose, meant for reforming the manners. With a view to preserving his power and his dynasty, civil peace and social harmony, he offered his subjects diverting and purgative "entertainments" and his courtiers -his potential rivalsartistic presentations aiming at domesticating their pulsions. Arts were then able to achieve his goals. Taking man into account, with all the parts of his soul, they had passions and reason working together, reconciled in the process and showing a noble view of man. The polyphonic "madrigale", pursuing these objectives in a "mathematic language" -"universal harmony"-, was not qualified to express passions in a convenient way. The "greek" monodic model had imposed itself, giving birth to "monody on a thorough bass". Music had given itself the means to achieve the prince's and its own goals, through the "mimesis" of cognitive and pathetic processes, the working out of the "sprezzatura" and the new status attributed to the interpreter. Music was then able to express "great passions" and "conceive" great forms. Giulio caccini and claudio monteverdi were the most prominent creative composers of the time, from both the point of view of language and of form

Full textSigismondo D’India, (1582? -1629?) a contemporary of Claudio Monteverdi, was one of the major composers of the early XVIIth century and one of the founding fathers of modern music. This thesis aims at setting him against a background which requires some reminiscing and updating, that of the court of Turin, where the musician settled between 1611 and 1623. It was the most fruitful period of his musical career, the study of which addresses three issues: music, patronage and nobiliary identity.I shall first study the movements of musicians, artists, printers and musical sources, and shall analyse besides some works by the composer. It appears that Sigismondo D’India, together a singer, a guitar-Player, a composer and a poet, stands out as one of the boldest and the most idiosyncratic musicians of his days.His musical career goes hand in hand with artistic patronage, which made his travelling easier, connected the various cities accommodating the musician and his dedicatees and facilitated creative emulation. The study of patronage through D’India’s creativity in music points out, among other things, the numerous relationships between him and his dedicatees.Finally, through the notion of nobiliary identity, I shall focus on the way in which the composer contributed to building up the cultural identity of a court while building up his own status as a nobleman. The nobiliary identity can thus be considered a first step toward national identity. I also aim at showing that D’India was perfectly up to the role of gentleman-Musician, and that his music contributed to building a model of urbanity

Full textThe Neapolitan crèche, which experienced its golden age in the 18th century, is an ephemeral "installation" that transgresses and mixes all artistic hierarchies and challenges all aesthetic genres of art history. Popular and aristocratic, pagan and sacred, academic art and craft, living art and museum object , the Neapolitan crèche shows in a miniaturized theatre the sacred scene of the Nativity, immersed in a realistic and codified city of Naples with figures that Neapolitans commissioned from renowned artists. The Neapolitan crèche of the 18th century is the subject of this thesis developed in three parts. 1) The history of the Neapolitan nativity scene from its first plastic expressions in the 13th century to its golden age made possible by a technical revolution that introduced miniaturization and theatricality, followed by a study of the authors of the figures and collecting practices that initiated the first introduction of the creche into the logic of art history. 2) The Study of the theatricality of the Neapolitan crèche based on the importance of the setting, the analysis of facial expressions and gestures of the characters as well as the roles they play in the context. This study is followed by an analysis of the story and its actors, the different characters and the many animals. 3) Due to the complexity and particularity of the crèche, the third part is devoted to the non-intrusive study and analysis of the multiple materials as well as the conservation of the figures. First, the technique of the making of a crèche figure from a singular study case, and then, because of their fragility, the important question of the conservation of the figures. I have focused on the example of important ensembles collected by three large museums, in Madrid, Munich and New York, studied in situ. This thesis attempts to introduce an art that is often deprived of archives and whose objects are transformed over time, into the discipline of art history along with painting, sculpture, and popular and religiously inspired living arts

Full textThe present research focuses on the reception of the fabulæ of Hero and Leander and of Pyramus and Thisbe in Seventeenth-century Italian literature, in particular in four texts differing by genre, style and geographical origin: the idyll of Giovanni Capponi, Gli amori infelici di Ero e Leandro (1618); the ‘favola maritima’ Hero e Leandro (1630) and the ‘lieta favola’ La Tisbe by Francesco Bracciolini; and the ‘dramma per musica’ Il Leandro by Badovero-Pistocchi (1679). The decision to place the two myths in close relationship with each other was inspired by some remarks found in authoritative historical-philological studies on the origin of the ancient Greek novel and the Greek novella (Rodhe 1876, Lavagnini 1921, Cataudella 1957) where the two fabulæ are cited as examples of proto-novels for the insistent recurrence in them of topoi proper to the Hellenic novel. Starting from an accurate thematic-rhetorical analysis of the 'common heritage', or rather, of the 'Hellenic-romance nucleus' belonging to the classic versions of reference (Mus.; Ov., Her. 18-19; Ov. Met., IV, 55-166), the course of the research in modern rewritings in question follows three main coordinates: verification of the idea of correspondence between the two myths, already found in the ancient, medieval and Renaissance versions, and identification of the ways in which it is expressed in seventeenth-century texts; analysis of the processes of rewriting the myth within the new Baroque metamorphoses and the new stage hybrids, both in reference to the interaction between the 'Hellenic-romance nucleus', tragic inheritance and influences of the idyllic and pastoral genre, as well as in regard to the relationship between Hellenic and Baroque romance; focus on the hermeneutic aspect within which to read the new meaning assumed by the myth: clementia or sententia for the two couples of lovers?

Full textOpera, or melodramma, is one of the most important cultural phenomena of eighteenth-century Italy. According to Des Brosses (1709-1777) this genre seemed to be even more prized than spoken theater. The importance and popularity of the melodramma in Italian social and cultural life was such that many musical parodies and satires were produced. In the eighteenth-century, these "operas about opera" became so popular, they constituted a separated "micro-genre", which musicologists claim existed between 1715 and 1827. These operas are called, in the musicological literature, metaopera or metamelodramma. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the parodies and satires which deal with the profession of the musicians and singers active in opera, from the point of view of the musicians themselves. This allows us to identify references relating to the practice, habits, and clichés of the profession (musical practices, social situation of musicians, etc.), which do not necessarily appear in usual historical and critical sources. The analysis of these works provide an unique opportunity to explore the world of the musical production of the eighteenth century, which is parodied and criticized by satire in its own language and by its own actors and protagonists. Despite their caricatural nature, these works are a reflection of musicians, librettists, composers, and other actors of the musical scene on their own profession, and illustrates in a comical and lively way, the situation of the musical business in the eighteenth century

Full textThe council of Trent held at the end of the 16th century embodies main reforms to carry out in order to restore the Church’s image. A new structural and human approach is put forward in response to the critics addressed by Protestants and some Catholics. The regaining of the faithful’s trust, wanted by the Church, has led to a modernization and to the creation of local ecclesiastic structures. Training and learning have been put at the center of the policy conducted by the roman Curia and local episcopacies. This principles are supported by the renewal or the creation, of both religious societies and non-religious associations, able to meet the daily requirements of populations. Process of evangelization also goes through spreading of a new type of art, fostering a sense of glory and wealth. By doing so, the baroque asserts itself as a necessary educational tool, traces of which remain present until today and bear witness to its magnificence. However, the renewed catholic message, after the council of Trent, was not put in application equally in all the provinces. In this regard, it is interesting to study the impact of this counter-reformation on the way to live out is faith in this three culturally and geographically linked areas that are Corsica, Genoa and the county of Nice

Full textThis thesis analyses the artistic policy of the most important patrons who lived in Sardinia during the Baroque age: the viceroys and the Spanish bishops. During their stay in Cagliari, these aristocrats, chosen by the king for their loyalty to the Crown, promoted and supported many different forms of visual arts. Some of them concentrated on embellishing the town’s cathedral and royal palace, others made important donations to churches, others promoted the ephemeral arts and others acquired paintings, sculptures, relics or devotional objects that afterwards they brought with them back to Spain. Recently several stylistic and documentary studies have been published on these artworks, allowing to date them and to identify their authors. However, most researchers have focused their attentions on the artists, so that very little was known about their clients. The principal aim of the thesis, thus, is to propose an overall reflection on Spanish patronage in Sardinia. As far as the methodology is concerned, the research process started by observing and examining the artworks using the iconographic-iconological method, in order to investigate their intellectual and symbolic meaning. Afterwards, I carried out a meticulous research of primary and secondary sources related to the patrons, with the purpose of proposing a new approach to their artistic interests and establishing the links between their political and ecclesiastical career and the artworks they commissioned. The data collection process began in the archives and libraries of Barcelona. The second step was extending the research to other cities, such as Cagliari, Madrid, Toledo, Avila, Genova, Rome, Naples and Palermo. In fact, the Spanish viceroys and bishops were often displaced in different territories within the Spanish empire. In order to fully understand their artistic commissions, thus, it is necessary to “follow their footsteps” and consult widely scattered sources. Finally I analysed and compared the data with the purpose of offering a panoramic view of the artistic policy of viceroys and bishops. The analysis of individual case studies shows diversities, but at the same times reveals similarities within their artistic interests, allowing proposing an interpretative model of the phenomenon of Spanish patronage in Sardinia.

Full textThis thesis has as its goal the study of the positions held by the agregate of musicians in turin between 1619, the date of the marriage between christine of france and victor amadeus i, and 1775, the year in which clothilde of france married charles emmanuel iv. Its three volumes are devoted, respectively, to the profession and the works, to the daily life and to the archival documentation. An overview of life in turin and of the musical institutions housed at the court is followed by a study of the structure of the profession, presenting, in the form of chronologically-organised entries (in the first two volumes), those aspects, known today, of the careers of the musicians. This information is arranged in the following categories: the great clans of dynasties of musicians; the "maitres de chapelle"; the organist; the singers; the "cabinet francais" of christine of france; french instrumentalists of the 17th century; their italian counterparts in the 18th century; and the dancing masters. A selection of five works, transcribed and realised in modern scores, has been made in order to illustrate turin's role in the development of the motet-cantata (montalto), the cantata (g. -a. Giay), the symphony (g. -a. Giay), the concerto (f. -s. Giay) and the grand motet (a. -s. Fiore). The second volume is dedicated exclusively to an analysis of the social position of the musicians, to their economic situation and to their religious orientations and practices. The thesis is completed by a sequence of documentary sources, drawn particularly from the archivio di stato of turin (accounts and notarial records) and the parish registers of the principal churches of the city

The modalities of the decorations are both material and thematic. Material with frescoes, easel or wood-paintings in ceilings, grottoes covere d by mineral substances variably mould or designed, ephemeral structures, settings and costumes, automatons, etc. Thematic since this thesis is divided into four sections dedicated to the relationships of the decoration with (1) the political sphere as seen through territorial and dynastic ideologies, (2) to cosmology (elements, planets), (3-4) to the natural sciences (ornithology, botany, mineralogy, teratology), as well as to eclectical collectionism. The first point deals with princely entries in florence and pisa, and with their relationships to permanent decorations. The seco nd part is dedicated to the cosmological, astrological and magical programs at villa medici and palazzo firenze in rome, and in the florentine intermezzi of 1589. The third section is mainly about gardens : the "stanzino degli uccelli" in ro me and the grottoes of boboli and pratolino with their automatons. The fourth part treats of grotesques, from the large decoration of the uffizi gallery studied in its structural links with the kunst-and-wunderkammern, the hybrid and the monstruous, and the burlesque poetry

Full textThis study, at the beginning, had as principal purpose to analyze the interconnections between dramatic works of the playwright and actor, Giovan Battista Andreini, and the different types of theatres for music of baroque age. But, when the research work is started, the original objective, soon, is change. In fact, it’s appear clear that the music dimension in Andreini’s plays was, in truth, a manifestation of his great desire of innovation. So, the music prospective has become the best way to put in the right light the dramatic experimentalism of this playwright, one of the most important for the history of Commedia dell’Arte and Italian literature, and to discovered many, unknown, aspects of his poetry and personal philosophy. The Andreini’s plays was investigated to contextualize them in the Italian and French spectacular societies of Seventeenth century, because Giovan Battista had spent long periods of his career, besides his own country, also in Paris, working at the court of Maria de’ Medici and his son, Luigi XIII

Full textIn this thesis, the variousaspects of the reception and the fortune of the fairy tales of the baroness of d’Aulnoy at the end of the 19th century are examined, allowing enriching the critical analyses about classical fairy tales and their perception in modern time. In first place, new editions of the tales, printed from from first years of the 19thcentury, until the first years of 20th are examined. The composition of volumes and the shape of the texts make it possible to understand how it is only at the end of the 19th century that Mrs. d'Aulnoy starts to be regarded as a classical author. She begins to be considered as a writer that proposes to the readers original marvelous tales and not a simple rewriter of folk tales. The analysis of the rewritings and the transpositions allows, on the other hand, to understand the role of the baroness and her work in the renewal of marvelous literature at the end of the century. In fact, the complete rewritings of some of its tales present some stylistics features that can be connected with the perverted marvelous, typical of the end of the century. That makes it possible to seize the interest which the authors of this time carry on the figure of the writer. She begins to be perceived as a model, on the same level as Charles Perrault, which justifies the presence of complete rewritings of its work. On the other hand, the presence of some themes and characters that can originally be found in Mrs. d’Aulnoy’s works inside new works allows to better understand the importance of the literary memory in the renewal of marvelous literary genre. In the end, the transpositions for the theater can only be found in the English culture. The tales of the baroness d’Aulnoy which take part in this phenomenon allow a deep renewal of certain genres of the classical theater and the creation of new ones, presenting, for the first time, characters and topics linked to grotesque. This work allows therefore, to stress the range and the importance of the production of a writer which, has been forgotten for a long time and to highlight in which direction its tales contributed to enrich the marvelous at the end of the century

Full textDuring the 18th century, the French embassy to the Holy See was one of the most important production centres of music, soirée, masquerade and festivity. All this was to celebrate Monarchy's and “Roi Très-Chrétien”'s glory and greatness.The aim of this study is to examine the role of music in French Institutions in Rome during this period. In particular, this study provides large documentation to investigate the events in which the music was performed, the purpose of the use of music during these events and to characterize places, conditions and times of the musical performanceThe main contribution of this study is the analysis of the new music commissioned in honour of the french royal family by the French ambassadors in the Holy See.More complex is the analysis of the events in which music was traditionally “linked” to the french festivities: this is the case of the feasts organized for the 25th August in honor of St. Louis or the 13th December in honour of St. Lucia. In these two occasions festivity was traditionally commissioned by the ambassadors who also sustain the financial costs of the entire celebration.During the period between 1724 and 1791, the ambassadors of France in Rome made use of the musical art to promote themselves and gain appreciation for their principal duty: to represent their king with luxury and extraordinary generosity in order to acquire the consideration appreciation of the entire roman Court
