Ghel 's examination of extensive correspondence between the family and the artists they employed during the seventeenth century enables her to provide valuable insights into the reputations, working methods, and prices of such eminent Bolognese school painters as Francesco Albani, Gui-do Cagnacci, Carlo Cignani, Domenico Maria Canuti, and Lorenzo Pasinelli. Her contribution demonstrates the popularity of Bolognese artists well beyond the city of Bologna itself. The recent publication of Collezionismo d'arte in Romagna in età moderna, a collection of essays on private collecting in Romagna between the seventeenth and nineteenth century, has focused attention on a complex and varied phenomenon that deserves to be further explored. 1 A renewed interest in art collections in the area of Imola, Faenza, Forlì, and Ravenna, sparked by a series of documentary studies on public and private archives that brought to light inventories, letters, and lists of art objects, allows scholars to study previously unexplored areas, identify the peculiarities of private collections, and ultimately arrive at new and original interpretations. Beginning with the most important cases, the goal has been to reconstruct the characteristics of individual collections, the ways they were formed, the spaces in which they were displayed, and the circumstances of their dispersal. Scholars have demonstrated the existence of important collections from the early years of the seventeenth century, especially in Forlì, enabling us to map a rich and widespread taste for art objects that particularly favored Bolognese artists.
