The twenty-two essays in the book address the multiple perspectives of French architects, not only those of the residents of the Académie de France, traveling in the peninsula and beyond between the second half of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century.
The proposed analyses focus on distinct sources and objects of study, within a collective narrative that aims to be a critical reflection on the already rich historiography of travel in Italy, a space for in-depth studies that highlight different thematic and research facets, original or renewed.
The plurality of centers of interest and stimulations that emerge from the descriptions and representations of the buildings and the city, without neglecting the dimension of the landscape, allows us to restore, in its complexity, one of the most prolific periods in the training of the architect, at a crucial time in its mutations and permanences.
