"Il cofanetto racchiude due volumi pubblicati in occasione della mostra L'ultimo ritratto: Mazzini e Lega, storie parallele del Risorgimento, allestita a Roma al Vittoriano dal 31 maggio all'8 settembre 2024. Il primo volume, a cura di Edith Gabrielli e con la consulenza storica di Giuseppe Monsagrati, fa perno su Gli ultimi momenti di Giuseppe Mazzini, il celebre dipinto di Silvestro Lega, eccezionalmente concesso in prestito dal Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design di Providence, negli Stati Uniti, al VIVE - Vittoriano e Palazzo Venezia. La pubblicazione contiene saggi di Edith Gabrielli, Giuseppe Monsagrati, Maria Pia Critelli, Marco Pizzo, Giovanni Belardelli, Tsugumi Maki, Maureen C. O'Brien e Elisabetta Matteucci. I loro contributi da un lato approfondiscono il ruolo che Mazzini attribuì alla comunicazione tradizionale e di massa, come pure al controllo e alla diffusione della propria immagine pubblica, dall'altro illustrano l'importanza de Gli ultimi momenti nel percorso stilistico di Silvestro Lega e nell'intero immaginario del movimento repubblicano. Il secondo, intitolato Giovanni Spertini e un inedito busto di Giuseppe Mazzini del 1878, è interamente dedicato a un'importante e recente acquisizione del VIVE. Il testo di Edith Gabrielli inserisce il busto marmoreo nel percorso artistico e professionale di Spertini, mettendola in relazione con le altre opere dedicate a Mazzini e, più in generale, ai protagonisti del Risorgimento. Entrambi i volumi sono contraddistinti da un ricco apparato illustrativo: il primo, in particolare, contiene una sequenza dei ritratti di Mazzini realizzati con diverse tecniche artistiche e un vero e proprio album sul dipinto di Silvestro Lega; il secondo, gli esiti della campagna fotografica realizzata per l'occasione da Mauro Magliani." ["The box set contains two volumes published on the occasion of the exhibition The Last Portrait: Mazzini and Lega, Parallel Stories of the Risorgimento, set up in Rome at the Vittoriano from 31 May to 8 September 2024. The first volume, edited by Edith Gabrielli and with the historical consultancy of Giuseppe Monsagrati, focuses on The Last Moments of Giuseppe Mazzini, the famous painting by Silvestro Lega, exceptionally loaned by the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, United States, to VIVE - Vittoriano and Palazzo Venezia. The publication contains essays by Edith Gabrielli, Giuseppe Monsagrati, Maria Pia Critelli, Marco Pizzo, Giovanni Belardelli, Tsugumi Maki, Maureen C. O'Brien and Elisabetta Matteucci. Their contributions, on the one hand, explore the role that Mazzini attributed to traditional and mass communication, as well as to the control and diffusion of his public image, and on the other, illustrate the importance of Gli ultime momenti in the stylistic path of Silvestro Lega and in the entire imagery of the republican movement. The second, entitled Giovanni Spertini and an unpublished bust of Giuseppe Mazzini from 1878, is entirely dedicated to an important and recent acquisition of the VIVE. Edith Gabrielli's text places the marble bust in Spertini's artistic and professional path, relating it to the other works dedicated to Mazzini and, more generally, to the protagonists of the Risorgimento. Both volumes are characterized by a rich illustrative apparatus: the first, in particular, contains a sequence of portraits of Mazzini made with different artistic techniques and a real album on the painting by Silvestro Lega; the second, the results of the photographic campaign created for the occasion by Mauro Magliani."].
