The “New Voices” conference series continues with the contribution of Giulia Ghezzi, introduced by Rossana Sacchi, who will present the fascinating history of Federico Agnelli (1626-1702), engraver and head of a family of printers in Milan in the 17th century. The images and texts ably realized by Agnelli not only were able to satisfy the most disparate tastes in the high Baroque by intercepting the most original then-new trends, but also represent an important witness of those times.
