I find that the statements in this article are not supportable. Why not list Italian artists, and paintings or something. Frenchgeek 05:27, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)

If the statement in the article had any relevance it would be to only one period/one strand of artistic development. Etruscan influences, Papal/secular art and Fascist-era art are among the areas that would have to be covered. Jackiespeel 16:36, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

    • I've tried to improve the page by giving structure to it and beginning to write the article. --wayland 19:00, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)


Well timed! I was just redirecting this page to European Art History as an alternative to deleting it, as the original article was simply rediculous. Luckily I got an edit conflict.
I'd recomend changing the title to Italian Art, though, unless "Art of Italy" follows some art-related Wikipedia naming scheme. :--Asbestos 19:08, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Considering the Music of Italy, Music of Spain, Music of Germany, etc. I think that Art of Italy is probably the better naming convention. Antandrus 02:42, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Sounds good. --Asbestos 01:46, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Okay, I think it's suuficiently removed from the disputed version now that the "disputed" notice could probably be removed but I don't know if I'm allowed to just remove it. Is there a proper protocol for removing the notice does anyone know? --wayland 13:06, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If there's a raging debate, the protocol is to reach a concesus. As it is, I think it's fine. I'll remove the notice. -- Asbestos 11:40, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Improvement Drive

The article Culture of Italy has been listed to be improved on Wikipedia:This week's improvement drive. You can add your vote there if you would like to support the article.--Fenice 14:21, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Information Lacking

I feel the information on the, "Art of Italy", is lacking in information. It shows information on Rome, Byzantine Pireod, Gothic Period, The Etruscans, and other things. But when it gets to the actual point of the article, "Art of Italy", there is only a little paragraph. This article needs more improvement for information on Italy.-Greg-67.100.39.251 00:28, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WTF????!??!?!?!?

What the hell does "mainly in ass of the 18th century" in the section on Rococo art mean??????74.140.136.51 (talk) 23:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism edit fixed. --Old Moonraker (talk) 07:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
