- Title
«Pittore pronto, spedito e universale». La fortuna critica di Nicolò Bambini nel Settecento.

- Abstract
The aim of the contribution is to understand the reasons that brought the committenti of the Gallery of the Aeneid to replace the painting by Nicolò Bambini Enea tells Dido the end of Troy with the painting by Francesco Solimena Dido and Enea take refuge in the cave; therefore, the essay retraces the eighteenth-century critical fortune of Bambini, both in printed and documentary sources. An analysis of the historical lexicon of the main eighteenth-century sources referring to Bambini brings out the figure of a painter widely appreciated more for his scholarly abilities, which for his coloristic qualities. The Buonaccorsi's program of a gallery of contemporary painters is also compared with the decoration of the Salone di Ca' Dolfin in Venice, where Bambini decorated the ceiling in the same period of the Maceratese commission. At the same time reflecting on the critical fortune of Bambini and on the noble galleries leads finally to a new proposal to understand the original intentions of the Dolfin's decoration.
