Gli studi sulle arti decorative a Trapani dal XVIII al XX secolo

Abstract

The particular attention given to decorative arts by trapanese scholars through centuries differentiates them from the ones of the other cities of the Isle. In fact, they were motivated by the absolute singularity of the particular artistic handmades and by the consciousness of the importance of the local masters for the life of the city. So decorative arts become the main reason of attention by scholars, who sometimes leave only a marginal room to news about goldsmiths and silversmiths.
