In the second half of the eighteenth century, archaeological activities in Rome intensified considerably under the pontificate of Pius VI (1775–99), and new excavations in the Roman Campagna and the Latium, together with the erection of the Museo Pio Clementino (1776–84), excited considerable interest in Roman learned and literary circles. A young poet who had moved to Rome from Romagna, Vincenzo Monti (1754–1828), obtained his first great success by celebrating the new discoveries in a memorable poem, La prosopopea di Pericle. In it, a newly found herm of Pericles sings of Pius's pontificate as a new golden age for the arts. Monti, who was to become Italy's most authoritative man of letters in the following decades, befriended in those years, and received considerable assistance from, the leading antiquarian of that age, Ennio Quirino Visconti (1751–1818). Their relationship and its legacy provide the subject of this paper, with emphasis on Monti's early poetry, its significance for the literary history of the neoclassical age, and its role in shaping a novel poetic style intended for the praise of ancient art.

庇护六世罗马的考古发现和庆祝诗歌

在 18 世纪下半叶，罗马的考古活动在庇护六世（1775-99 年）的教皇统治下显着加强，在罗马坎帕尼亚和拉蒂姆进行了新的发掘，同时建立了 Museo Pio Clementino（1776- 84），激发了对罗马学界和文学界的极大兴趣。文森佐·蒙蒂 (Vincenzo Monti) (1754-1828) 是一位从罗马涅移居罗马的年轻诗人，他通过用一首令人难忘的诗来庆祝新发现而获得了他的第一个巨大成功，La prosopopa di Pericle. 在其中，一个新发现的伯里克利赫姆歌唱庇护的教皇作为艺术的新黄金时代。蒙蒂将在接下来的几十年里成为意大利最权威的文人，在那些年里结识了那个时代的主要古物学家恩尼奥·基里诺·维斯康蒂（1751-1818 年），并得到了相当大的帮助。他们的关系及其遗产提供了本文的主题，重点是蒙蒂的早期诗歌，它对新古典主义时代文学史的意义，以及它在塑造一种旨在颂扬古代艺术的新颖诗歌风格中的作用。
