This book developed from the conference Italys Eighteenth Century: Gender and Culture During the Age of the Grand Tour , held at the Getty Research Institute and William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, co-sponsored with the UCLA Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies in 2002. Louis Marchesano, collections curator of prints and drawings at the Getty Research Institute, co-organized the conference with Paula Findlen. Thomas Crow, director of the Getty Research Institute, Gail Feigenbaum, associate director of programs at the Getty, and Peter H. Reill, director of the UCLA Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies, all helped to make this a provocative and enjoyable event. We thank the staff of both institutions for making the event go so smoothly. Chloe Chard, Massimo Ciavolella, Carole Paul, and Geoffrey Simcox, who all participated in the conference, stimulated discussion that led to the idea of publishing the papers. More recently, Carole Paul served as the external reviewer for this manuscript and offered sage advice on its final composition.
We express our gratitude to them and to other colleagues, family, and friends who provided inspiration, encouragement, and support throughout the development of this interdisciplinary project. We would also like to thank Meredith Kunz for assistance with editing, Matthew Sneider for his translations of Italian essays, and Brian Brege for the index. Many institutions lent support, including the University of Rhode Island Center for the Humanities, Stanford University, the American Academy in Rome, the British School at Rome, the Getty Research Institute, the American Council for Learned Societies, the American Philosophical Society, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. They offered material support for the completion of this project and sabbatical leave for two of the three editors.
The essays in this volume present original research by international scholars in fields ranging from the history of science, art, and music to literature, travel writing, and gender studies. Some were presented in earlier versions at the conference; other, new essays were included to broaden the scope of our theme. We would like to acknowledge the patience, cooperation, and generosity of all the authors who contributed essays to the book. Their enthusiasm for this project has made it a pleasure to complete.
We are especially appreciative of the care with which Stanford University Press has seen this project into print. Norris Pope, Emily-Jane Cohen, Judith Hibbard, and Tom Finnegan have all been a pleasure to work with. We thank them for their enthusiasm and understanding of the pleasures and importance of collaborative research.
During the course of this collaborative project, the editors learned a great deal from each other and the other authors about the women and men in these essays: their lives and loves, their successes and losses, and their contributions to letters, arts, and sciences in eighteenth-century Italy. As we prepared this volume, we experienced some joyous and some painful personal events of our ownthe birth of a child, the serious illness of a brother, the death of a beloved sister. Without the love and compassion of our families and friends, bringing our work to fruition would not have been possible.
