About this book

In the late 19th century, Italy was undergoing a transformation as it sought to establish its national identity, epitomized by the monument to King Victor Emmanuel II. "I mattoidi al primo concorso pel monumento in Roma a Vittorio Emanuele" by Carlo Dossi offers a sharp satirical critique of the artistic submissions for this significant project. Through vivid descriptions and incisive wit, Dossi exposes the absurdity and eccentricity of the proposals, reflecting the cultural tensions of a nation in flux. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work illuminates the intersection of art and politics, revealing how public monuments can evoke both pride and ridicule. Engage with Dossi's unique perspective on a pivotal moment in Italy's artistic history.
