description Displaying Art: Exhibition Choices of Italian Museums Through Time brings together a series of methodologically oriented studies that examine the history of Italian museum displays through the critical use of visual documentation. Developed within the PRIN 2022 project The Forms of the Museum: Pilot-Project for a Digital Atlas of Italian Museums, funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and the European Union, the volume explores the epistemic potential of a large, structured corpus of images for reconstructing and interpreting exhibition practices across time. Through case studies on the Uffizi, Brera, Parma, L’Aquila, and the American reception of Italian museums, the essays treat photographs, illustrated periodicals, postcards, guides, films, and other visual materials as primary documents rather than mere illustrations. In doing so, they show how museum displays were not only arranged and transformed, but also circulated, interpreted, and made meaningful for different publics, highlighting the role of images in shaping institutional narratives, public reception, and cultural value. At the center of the volume is the Digital Atlas of Italian Museums (DAIM), conceived not simply as a repository, but as a research tool that enables comparison, relational analysis, and new interpretative perspectives. The book offers an original contribution to museum history while demonstrating the broader interdisciplinary value of visual sources for the study of cultural politics, public memory, and the social life of images.

Published Displaying Art: Exhibition Choices of Italian Museums Through Time raccoglie una serie di studi metodologicamente orientati che esaminano la storia degli allestimenti museali italiani attraverso l'uso critico della documentazione visiva. Sviluppato nell'ambito del progetto PRIN 2022 The Forms of the Museum: Pilot-Project for a Digital Atlas of Italian Museums, finanziato dal Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca (MUR) e dall'Unione Europea, il volume esplora il potenziale epistemico di un ampio corpus strutturato di immagini per ricostruire e interpretare le pratiche espositive nel corso del tempo. Attraverso casi di studio sugli Uffizi, Brera, Parma, L'Aquila e la ricezione americana dei musei italiani, i saggi trattano fotografie, periodici illustrati, cartoline, guide, film e altri materiali visivi come documenti primari piuttosto che come semplici illustrazioni. In tal modo, mostrano come gli allestimenti museali non siano stati solo organizzati e trasformati, ma anche diffusi, interpretati e resi significativi per pubblici diversi, evidenziando il ruolo delle immagini nel plasmare le narrazioni istituzionali, la ricezione pubblica e il valore culturale. Al centro del volume si trova l'Atlante Digitale dei Musei Italiani (DAIM), concepito non semplicemente come un archivio, ma come uno strumento di ricerca che permette il confronto, l'analisi relazionale e nuove prospettive interpretative. Il libro offre un contributo originale alla storia dei musei, dimostrando al contempo il più ampio valore interdisciplinare delle fonti visive per lo studio delle politiche culturali, della memoria pubblica e della vita sociale delle immagini. 2026-03-26T09:28:47Z 2026-03-26T09:28:47Z 2026-02-25 book 978-88-6887-410-0 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/174331 ita Clio image/jpeg Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International http://www.fedoabooks.unina.it/index.php/fedoapress/catalog/book/774 FedOA - Federico II University Press 10.6093/978-88-6887-410-0 Displaying Art: Exhibition Choices of Italian Museums Through Time raccoglie una serie di studi metodologicamente orientati che esaminano la storia degli allestimenti museali italiani attraverso l'uso critico della documentazione visiva.
