La utopía del regreso

"El libro que hoy sugerimos como publicación de interés revive de forma clara y sencilla, este ambiente cultural italiano del siglo XVIII donde incansables artistas, boquiabiertos viajeros y concienzudos estudiosos de viejas ruinas y nuevos hallazgos, todos ellos españoles, pues el libro estudia la presencia cultural española, se devanaban los sesos tratando de aprovechar al máximo el tiempo de estancia que tenían asignado siempre, a su parecer, escaso."(Web Librería Antes) Aristócratas insolventes, aventureros cosmopolitas, arqueólogos ilustrados y artistas canallescos reunidos en...
