- The exam includes only the final oral test consisting of a discussion-inteview on the topics discussed during the course and examined in-depth through reccomended texts. The test aims at assuring the level of knowledge und understanding, as well as synthesis, achieved by the student. Moreover this interview will verify that the student is able to communicate, with method and propriety of language, what he has acquired. The duration of the test varies depending on the performance of the test itself and begins, as a rule, with a subject of the student's choice in order to put him at ease
- Extended program
- The course aims to analyze the dispersion of the rich Italian artistic heritage during the Napoleonic era, especially in the period between 1797 and 1815, when, as a result of the Treaty of Bologna and Tolentino, a large number of masterpieces of ancient and modern art Italian were transferred to the Louvre by the commissioners appointed by Napoleon. The course intends to examine this dispersion in relation to the Italian and French contemporary art literature and by relating it also with issues related to the history of collecting and museology. Particular attention will be paid to the situation in Perugia and Umbria.
