Campana, a businessman from Rome, formed one of the most important
private collections of antiquities of the 19th century yet it has
been little studied. This thesis examines Campana's private life,
his role as patron of the arts, archaeologist and collector and his
trial for fraud, ending in exile. Much of the volume aims to
reconstruct the collection, sold off by the papacy, that included
Etruscan, Greek and Roman ceramics, jewellery, coins, glass,
paintings, sculptures and medieval and Renaissance art. The list of
objects, many of which are illustrated, includes current locations.
