L'Invenzione del Paesaggio Toscano: Immagine Culturale E Realta Fisica

A landscape can be interpreted as a combination of physical characteristics and the images and thoughts that give them meaning. Maria Rita Gisotti compares and reconciles two nineteenth-century approaches to the Tuscan landscape: the contemplative production of foreigners living in and around Florence, and the more utilitarian efforts of the Georgofili Academy to document rural conditions.
