Founded in 1982 by Giuseppe De Vito under the title Ricerche sul ‘600 napoletano the yearbook was directed by him and published annually until 2011, hosting scientific contributions from Italian and foreign scholars. In recent decades, it has made a significant contribution to the development of studies and the dissemination of knowledge on the seventeenth-century Neapolitan school, which is now recognised as one of the most significant periods in modern Italian art. Attention has been given to documentary, philological, historical and iconographic research, as well as to the technical aspects of works of art, their preservation and restoration.
Innovative contributions, including those of the founder, have shed light on artistic personalities, monuments and masterpieces that were previously overlooked, thereby contributing to the preservation and valorisation of cultural heritage.
Alongside its specific theme and scientific rigour, the yearbook features an elegant cover design and excellent photographic reproductions.
Following the establishment of the Foundation in 2011, the yearbook was renewed and its scope was expanded to cover the entire period of modern Neapolitan art and still life painting, under the new title Ricerche sull’arte a Napoli in età moderna. Saggi e Documenti.
Scholars interested in submitting contributions on Neapolitan and Southern Italian art to the journal are invited to send their articles to the Editorial Board (Comitato di redazione) for consideration, using the email address fondazione@fondazionedevito.it.
