L’Ottocento di Luigi Valeriano e Pompeo Pozzi
Due generazioni di un negozio milanese d’arte
Abstract
The sequence of events in the lives of Luigi Valeriano Pozzi and Pompeo Pozzi, intertwined as father and son, provides a glimpse into the world of art publishing of XIX Century Milan. Their shop in Galleria De Cristoforis is the starting point for a reassessment of the careers of two well known makers: the aim is to shed light on their familiar and urban context, in search of the roots of their professions. While Luigi Valeriano was a respected business owner, although a former clandestine printer in the French and Austrian city, Pompeo’s career started instead in a less adventurous juncture, in Brera; however, soon came the year 1848, and few months later his newly found appreciation for art photography.
