Conference by art historian Aurora Frescura, dedicated to collecting and collectors in Belluno in the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n
Civic museums almost always arise from bequests and donations from private collectors: this is also the case of the museum in Belluno, established in 1876 around the Giampiccoli and Miari collections.<\/p>\n
But even the subsequent life of the museum is nourished by works of art and historical testimonies that have passed through private collections during the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n
Sometimes heirs of ancient noble families, other times representatives of a new bourgeoisie, collectors are at the center of dynamics of collection, exchange, and unfortunately also dispersion of works of art.<\/p>\n
And they gradually recognize in the civic museum the place capable of preserving the memory and identity of their city.<\/p>\n
Aurora Frescura <\/b><\/p>\n
A young art historian, she studied at the Universities of Trento and Verona, and has recently refined her skills at the School of Specialization in Historical-Artistic Heritage at the University of Udine, with a thesis on the Belluno notebooks of Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle.<\/p>\n
She mainly focuses on the history of collecting, and in particular has deepened the figure of the Belluno-born Antonio Agosti, the subject of her master’s thesis and later of an essay published in the journal \u201cMDCCC-1800\u201d of Ca\u2019 Foscari University of Venice in 2024.<\/p>\n
At the same time, she continues her work experience in the museum field, collaborating with the exhibition department of the Buonconsiglio Castle in Trento.<\/p>\n
