Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the desire to restore the sacred of the ancient regime clashes with the impossibility of erasing the principles and rules of the French revolution, including religious freedom and the obligation to bury the dead outside the inhabited. In Italy the religious monopoly of the Catholic Church collapses and new faiths and conceptions of the sacred spread. The two new religions of the homeland and of art give rise to the most important public cults, clearly visible in the metamorphoses of funeral honors, burial sites, and in the memorial celebration of the illustrious characters who have disappeared. The consequence of art as a religion is the establishment of hybrid liturgies that mix the functions of the church, the monument, the museum and the concert hall, for which sacred works are performed in theaters, such as Verdi's Requiem Mass, and in the functions religious music that is strongly impregnated with theatricality is performed. Homeland, nature, art, faith, intimate affections led in the nineteenth century to the triumph of the sacred as a sentiment.
