Baroquemania explores the intersections of art, architecture and
criticism to show how reimagining the Baroque helped craft a
distinctively Italian approach to modern art. Offering a bold
reassessment of post-unification visual culture, the book examines
a wide variety of media and ideologically charged discourses on the
Baroque, both inside and outside the academy. Key episodes in the
modern afterlife of the Baroque are addressed, notably the
Decadentist interpretation of Gianlorenzo Bernini, the 1911
universal fairs in Turin and Rome, Roberto Longhi's historically
grounded view of Futurism, architectural projects in Fascist Rome
and the interwar reception of Adolfo Wildt and Lucio Fontana's
sculpture. Featuring a wealth of visual materials, Baroquemania
offers a fresh look at a central aspect of Italy's modern art. -- .
