About The Art of Objects: The Birth of Italian Industrial Culture, 1878-1928 (Toronto Italian Studies)

The Art of Objects is a cultural history of early Italian industrialism, set against the political, social, and intellectual background of post-unification Italy, and a cutting-edge investigation of the formation of Italy’s industrial culture at the turn of the twentieth century. Providing a close examination of several objects of mass consumption, including watches, photographs, bicycles, gramophones, cigarettes, and toys, author Luca Cottini explores the transformation of these objects from commercial items into aesthetic and philosophical icons. By focusing on the cultural significance of these objects as they enter the market and appear in contemporary works of art and literature, The Art of Objects outlines a comprehensive view of the age between the unification of Italy and Fascism, encompassing production and consumption, aesthetics and entrepreneurship, industry and the humanistic tradition. The observation of the slow formation of new languages, practices, and experiences around these objects also provides valuable insight into the creative laboratory of Italy’s early industrial culture. By reconstructing the origins of the Italian culture of design, the book ultimately investigates Italy’s critical reception of industrialism, the nation’s so-called and “imperfect and ” modernization, and its ongoing quest for an original way to modernity.
