A global comparison of the laws and regulations that govern investment funds is an invaluable tool to anyone involved in the business.
Although cultural exchanges were named within the Council of Europe in the mid- 1950's as being second only in importance to the military as a tool for ensuring a stable and integrated Western Europe in the aftermath of the Second World War, European-led initiatives have generally been overlooked in the historiography of art of the immediate post-war period. Popularly remembered as the era of the United States' cultural "triumph", American Abstract Expressionism in particular is commonly identified as the cultural "weapon" by which that nation conquered Western European culture.
“Prima di cena, nei mesi primaverili, avveniva la somministrazione dell’olio di fegato di merluzzo. Ci mettevamo in fila di fronte all’armadio a muro della cucina dal quale papà Attilio estraeva una bottiglia verdastra contenente quel liquido dal gusto ripugnante, ma che avrebbe dovuto farci crescere sani e belli. Lo assorbivamo dall’apposito cucchiaio, sempre quello, sempre unto, forse perché non si voleva infierire sui rimanenti cucchiai che se la ridevano nel cassetto. In tutta la casa c’era una sola stufa. Serviva per cucinare, per riscaldare, per avere dell’acqua calda, per far asciugare calze, mutande ecc., per scaldare il ferro da stiro. Veniva giustamente chiamata: stufa economica.”
Recent interest in the economic aspects of the history of art have taken traditional studies into new areas of enquiry. Going well beyond provenances or prices of individual objects, our understanding of the arts has been advanced by research into the demands, intermediaries and clients in the market. Eighteenth-century Rome offers a privileged view of such activities, given the continuity of remarkable investments by the local ruling class, combined with the decisive impact of external agents, largely linked to the Grand Tour. This book, the result of collaboration between international specialists, brings back into the spotlight protagonists, facts and dynamics that have remained unexplored for many years.
