This volume, a huge comprehensive essay by Fernando Mazzocca enclosing the contributions of a series of specialists in particularly significant artistic episodes, provides a new overview of the development of art in Lombardy in one of the most fortunate periods of its history, starting out from the enlightenment, when Milan and other cities in the region held a leading position in Italian culture. The works and the environments examined confirm Lombardy's leading position during stimulating nineteenth century periods such as neoclassicism, romanticism, eclecticism and finally the delicate passage from realism to the symbolist suggestions of the Milanese Scapigliatura movement. Alongside paintings by masters such as Appiani, Hayez, Molteni, Inganni, Domenico and Girolamo Induno, Faruffini, Cremona and Ranzoni are sculptures by Thorvaldsen, Marchesi, Vela and Grandi as well as magnificent decorative artworks. While the reconstruction of decorative complexes, from the villas of Lake Como to the palazzos of Milan, Brescia, Bergamo, Cremona and Varese allow us to evaluate, sometimes for the first time, the extraordinary harmony that existed between the various arts. The chapters devoted to the most emblematic monumental complexes of the period (such as the Cathedral, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and the Foro Bonaparte in Milan and the cemeteries in Brescia and Milan) reveal through highly suggestive images, how sculpture acquired different meanings in relation to the architecture and nature of its locations.
