Storiografia, Lombardia, Scultura lombarda, romanico, massoniAbstract
Questo articolo esplora la formazione e l'affermazione del mito dello «stile lombardo» esaminando due secoli di produzione letteraria in Gran Bretagna e negli Stati Uniti. Il suo obiettivo è quello di scavare nel modo in cui il concetto di arte lombarda si è formato e trasformato nel tempo, e nelle motivazioni storiche, culturali o artistiche che hanno portato gli studiosi a considerarlo uno stile eccezionale.
