Abstract
This article focuses on Leopoldo Cicognara's role as an advisor of the Italian publisher Giachetti (Prato). After a brief analysis of three key publications (Cicognara's history of sculpture; Séroux d'Agincourt's history of medieval and early-modern Art; Winckelmann's history of ancient art), the authors discuss the role of censorship and its consequences for nineteenth-century art books. The documentary appendix includes a complete transcription of all reports by the Florentine censor p. Mauro Bernardini.
