Venezia 1800: tradurre Dürer. Il carteggio von Murr - Morelli - De Lazara

The article proposes a reconsideration of the intense critical debate that took place in Venice around 1800 on Albrecht Dürer's Italian journey. The point of departure of the investigation is a letter. Hitherto unknown, it is addressed by Christoph Gottlieb von Murr to Jacopo Morelli and dated to September 1800. A few years later, Giovanni de Lazara sent to Morelli the first draft of the Italian translation of the Dürer’s letters from Venice to his friend and protector Willibald Pirckheimer, who was waiting for him in Nuremberg. These documentation, preserved in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, is published here for the first time, with a philological comment.
