Luchino Visconti: Mediador cultural e o espaço da crítica

This work reexamines the critical studies about the artistic production of Luchino Visconti, from the viewpoint of decadentist aesthetics. In this way, it presents an analysis of the perspectives of more recent critics –Italian and foreign – who, while restating the artist’s commitment to decadentism, also establish him as a mediator between the Italian culture and other cultural contexts portrayed in his production process
