This was the first multi-disciplinary study of the dissemination of
Italian culture in northern Europe during the long eighteenth
century (1689-1815). The book covers a diverse range of artists,
actors and musicians who left Italy during the eighteenth century
to seek work beyond the Alps in locations such as London, St
Petersburg, Dresden, Stockholm and Vienna. First published in 1999,
the book investigates the careers of important artists such as
Amigoni, Canaletto and Rosalba Carriera, as well as opera singers,
commedia dell'arte performers and librettists. However, it also
considers key themes such as social and friendship networks,
itinerancy, the relationships between court and market cultures,
the importance of religion and politics to the reception of
culture, the evolution of taste, the role of gender in the
reception of art, the diversity of modes and genres, and the
reception of Italian artists and performers outside Italy.
