Text in Italian.Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) is probably the most admired, studied and universally known painter of the Italian seventeenth century. He had a very important group of followers throughout Europe, an unofficial school that distinguishes between those who personally knew the master and were immediately in contact with his works, and those who collected his testimony after his death. Written by the greatest scholars from all over the world, coordinated by Alessandro Zuccari, this work in two volumes, constitutes the first complete repertoire of Caravaggio's painting in Italy and Europe. Introduced by the chapters dedicated to the birth of the Caravaggio mentality and Caravaggism in Rome, this publication traces a real map of Caravaggism from the south to the north of Italy and in European countries: from the Neapolitan results to the legacy of Caravaggio in Sicily, from the experiences in the Ligurian and Piedmontese territories to the echoes of Caravaggio in the Lombard and Venetian areas, in Tuscany, Umbria and the Papal Marches, to arrive at the analysis of Caravaggio's painting in Malta, in Spain, France, Flanders and Holland, in German-speaking Europe and in England. The actual repertoire of the artists follows, a short essay arranged in alphabetical order, composed of a short essay on the artist, the scientific data sheets of the paintings (with the examination of the signed works, proven by documents or of certain attribution) and the summary bibliographic.
