Enquiries on the economic aspects of art represent a modern frontier in art history. The topic goes well beyond the cost of a single object. Discoveries about the demands, intermediaries and clientele of the arts produced substantial advancement in the research, particularly of the 'social history of the art'. Eighteenth-century Rome offers a privileged field of action, given the permanence of the remarkable investments by the local ruling class, as well as the decisive development of external demand, largely linked to the Grand Tour. This book, the result of collaboration between international specialists, brings back into the spotlight protagonists, facts and dynamics that have remained unexplored for many years.
