Abstract
When Adolfo Venturi founded Le Gallerie Nazionali Italiane, he sought to lay the foundations of a scientific approach to art criticism by creating a journal which would discuss the issues regarding museums and galleries reorganisation and cataloguing, and publish previously unknown documents. His programme also entailed the promotion of other fields of research, which had been overlooked by Italian scholars, i.e. illumination, decorative arts, and graphics, thus paving the way to modern art history. This essays analyses the attention and interest given to such areas, focusing on the European models Venturi referred to and the reactions he aroused within the national debate.
