In the framework of the submitted report two key issues are to be covered. A retrospective analysis of the Art Nouveau in Italy will be carried out in its first part, which will be followed by the survey of this movement development (its “living”) in the context of contemporary culture — both as a concept and as an applied tool. The emphasis will be made on Liberty-style architecture, which has so far been neglected, and on a special movement in fine art photography which exists in modern Italy and is fully devoted to this type of architecture.
