• Resumen

  • This is the first study of a series of letters sent by Lucia Lopresti to Roberto Longhi between the spring and autumn of 1921 during the scholar’s “grand tour” of Europe with the collector Alessandro Contini. Among the many places visited by the young woman, Genoa was the subject of an extended sojourn, and she explored the city’s churches and museums, and those of the Ligurian Riviera to its east and west. What emerges is a lively exchange of correspondence, full of ideas, proposals and attributions, with a special focus — pioneering in its day — on the Genoese school of painting of the early Seicento (Ansaldo, Assereto, Borzone, Carbone, Carlone, Orazio and Giovanni Andrea De Ferrari, Strozzi, and Vassallo), and an initial cameo appearance by masters of the Quattrocento (Donato de’ Bardi and Carlo Braccesco).
