Antonio Diedo e l’Accademia di Belle Arti a tutela del patrimonio artistico veneziano nel primo Ottocento
Abstract
No one more than Antonio Diedo can be considered the embodiment of the Academy of Fine Arts in the early nineteenth century thanks to his forty years of service to the Venetian institution as perpetual secretary and professor of aesthetics. Since 1807 Diedo had been appointed by the french government to be part of a special commission charged with identifying the state of conservation of the works contained within churches and public buildings of the city. This essay focuses on the reports compiled by Diedo in the first decades of the nineteenth century in order to establish and organize the transfer of many works from their original places to the academy for their conservation and valorization.
