The late 19th century mosaic restorations in the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte at Naples opened a debate about the stylistic filiation of the workshop that created that fine decoration so imbued of roman as byzantine elements. Thanks to archival documents only in part known, it is possible to follow all the phases of the restoration and photographic documentation of the mosaics; in particular, it is possible to evaluate choices and guidelines of the officials who guided and controlled the works (such as Giacomo Boni) in the light of the critical debate on byzantine art developed at the beginning of the 20th century

Abstract
The late 19th century mosaic restorations in the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Fonte at Naples opened a debate about the stylistic filiation of the workshop that created that fine decoration so imbued of roman as byzantine elements. Thanks to archival documents only in part known, it is possible to follow all the phases of the restoration and photographic documentation of the mosaics; in particular, it is possible to evaluate choices and guidelines of the officials who guided and controlled the works (such as Giacomo Boni) in the light of the critical debate on byzantine art developed at the beginning of the 20th centuryFile in questo prodotto:
