• Resumen

  • During the first half of the eighteenth century, before its dispersal in a memorable Florentine auction of 1852, the Rinuccini collection underwent a decisive evolution under the aegis of Marchese Folco and his sons Carlo and Alessandro. Specific analysis of their acquisitions of Napolitan painting and identification of works currently housed in various museums reveals that the family was in step with the period's most advanced trends in taste. Folco Rinuccini took part in the division of the collection of the Marchese Del Carpio in Florence, acquiring notable works, and his son Alessandro, who had moved to Naples, subsequently made important purchases in situ. Finally, Carlo saw to the aggrandizement of the family in Florence through shrewd cultural politics, culminating in the restructuring of the Palazzo Rinuccini and the exhibition at Santissima Annunziata in 1737.
