| Summary: | Between 1760 and 1870, the only foreign population in the Val de Saone was made up of stuccowork artists, plasterers and Italian entrepreneurs from the Valsesia region. Even if they were a close-knit community with strong family links and close ties with their native villages, they had a large influence on their host environment thanks to their technical skills. The ornaments and decorations they undertook on the eve of the French Revolution, in churches in particular were already neo-classical in style. A series of sources allows identifying their works and documenting the everyday life of several generations of these craftsmen. |
