Recenzii

“Roberto Bizzocchi’s book, first published in Italian in 2008, is a welcome, first serious study of this most distinctive and puzzling feature of Enlightenment Italy. … reader will be rewarded with a rich, insightful, and beautifully documented treatment of a fascinating phenomenon, long noted but little formally studied.” (P. Renée Baernstein, Journal of Modern History, Vol. 89 (2), June, 2017)
