	Storia gay - Francesco Algarotti (1712-1764)
		Algarotti, che nella sua non lunga vita (appena quarantadue anni) sarebbe stato scrittore, poeta, saggista, divulgatore scientifico, diplomatico e procacciatore d'arte, era nato a Venezia, figlio d'un mercante, ed aveva compiuto buoni studi, per quanto eclettici.
		Nel tornare a Londra Algarotti fece una sosta gravida di conseguenze, fermandosi otto giorni alla corte prussiana, dove conobbe il principe ereditario Federico (1712-1786), suo coetaneo.
		Algarotti, che evidentemente su queste "ricompense" ci contava, sfruttò l'occasione arrivando a Berlino: qui divenne "intimo amico", molto intimo, del re, scalzando in breve il precedente amante, il barone Keyserling.

		Algarotti’s directions required that the scene be set in the centre of the great Imperial city of Alexandria, Tiepolo obliged by introducing a pyramidal obelisk as a reference to the Egyptian location.
		Brühl’s commission to Algarotti was for a series of five paintings, of near identical dimensions, from Pittoni, Piazzetta, Amigoni and Zuccarelli in addition to the Tiepolo, which were otherwise unrelated to the other three Tiepolo’s that he ordered.
		Algarotti owned the modello for this composition, which is now owned by the Gallery of the Accademia in Venice; it is exactly the same dimensions as our painting.

		The diffusion of Newtonian ideas prior to Newton’s death in 1727 was confined to the domain of mathematicians and natural philosophers as well as to a small circle of educated men who had acquired a taste for such studies.
		What made Voltaire so effective an agent – apart from an unparalleled ability to seduce an audience by a masterful combination of shock and wit – was that he was neither a mathematician nor a physicist, but a literary giant aloof from the academic disputes over Newtonian ideas.
		Equally successful was Algarotti’s transmutation of Newtonian ideas into an agreeable dialogue format, specifically intended to appeal to women, which mitigated the dryness of the subject matter with amusing digressions.

	La personal page di Alessandro Peroni - Algarotti
		In questo studio ho analizzato con particolare attenzione la genesi delle varie versioni del Saggio, ponendole in relazione con i concreti tentativi di riforma dell'opera in musica (Parma, Vienna) che furono tentate all'epoca, riforme delle quali l'Algarotti può essere considerato fra gli ispiratori.
		In particolare, Algarotti - che fu eminentemente uomo di corte - si opponeva all'opera come spettacolo popolare gestito dagli impresari nei pubblici teatri, e proponeva piuttosto un ritorno all'opera nobiliare tipica del tardo rinascimento, la quale era però irrimediabilmente decaduta alla fine del XVII secolo.
		A proposito della tanto auspicata riforma del melodramma, Algarotti scriveva:

		In other words, Voltaire’s stature as an amateur in matters of science was the source of his contemporary appeal, demonstrating for the first time the accessibility of Newton’s ideas to non-specialists.
