Resumo

The letters, published here for the first time, written by Baron Wilhelm von Edelsheim in the years 1770–1772 during his stay in Italy and addressed to Wenzel Anton Kaunitz-Rietberg are an extremely interesting document for analyzing the cultural and artistic life of that period. Indeed, there are numerous references to the produc-tion of works of art, such as the numerous notes by the Baron about the works and life of Anton Raphael Mengs. These letters are an outstanding document demon-strating the exchange of ideas and knowledge, which enabled the development of Neoclassicism in Vienna in the 1770s.
