    • Abstract:
      This paper aims at offering a renewed view on Friedrich Leopold von Stolberg's (1750-1819) relations with Italy, and in particular with Venice. Stolberg's travel accounts, published in 1794, are one of the most comprehensive narratives in the tradition of the Grand Tour. Stolberg wrote also on Venice, and in this paper we provide the first ever Italian translation from the German original, of the parts of the lengthy account devoted to Venice. This paper provides also a discussion on the most recent literature on Stolberg, taking into account as a privileged perspective his relations with Italy, that were of paramount importance for his conversion to Catholicism. The conversion took place in 1800 and a major scandal as well as polemics ensued in Germany. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      L'articolo si propone di analizzare il peso avuto dall'Italia, e in particolare da Venezia, nel contesto dell'opera di Friedrich Leopold von Stolberg (1750-1819), che scrisse un resoconto di viaggio (1794) tra i più importanti dedicato all'Italia prima dell'uscita dell'opera di Goethe. Nel testo, che offre anche la prima traduzione italiana della sezione dell'opera dedicata a Venezia, si presenta un resoconto della ricerca più recente su Stolberg, ponendo anche l'accento sull'originale prospettiva del nobile tedesco nel contesto delle visioni contemporanee della Serenissima. Viene infine mostrato come il mondo italiano, in cui Stolberg si mosse a lungo, abbia influenzato la sua decisione clamorosa di convertirsi al Cattolicesimo, conversione avvenuta nel 1800.
