The intellectual figure of Ferdinando Galiani (1728–1787) has the complex structure of a labyrinth. His many interests form an inextricable maze of blind paths, walls and hedges, traps and false doors. Whoever enters it with the certainty of immediately finding the way out, will soon find himself its prisoner and the interpretative path taken will soon prove to be misleading. The labyrinth of his complex thinking is the very image of eighteenth-century Naples built on a dense and intricate tangle of alleys, as it appears on the topographical map drawn by Giovanni Carafa, Duke of Noja (1775).

摘要

The intellectual figure of Ferdinando Galiani (1728–1787) has the complex structure of a labyrinth. His many interests form an inextricable maze of blind paths, walls and hedges, traps and false doors. Whoever enters it with the certainty of immediately finding the way out, will soon find himself its prisoner and the interpretative path taken will soon prove to be misleading. The labyrinth of his complex thinking is the very image of eighteenth-century Naples built on a dense and intricate tangle of alleys, as it appears on the topographical map drawn by Giovanni Carafa, Duke of Noja (1775).
