Abstract (English): In this short essay, I will present a very important figure of intellectual, poet and traveller of the age of the Enlightenment, Carlo C. della Torre di Rezzonico (1742-1796). He was the son of the Pliny scholar Anton Giuseppe and cousin of the Pope Clement XIII, Carlo Rezzonico. He was able to conceptualize the relations between Enlightenment and politics and the role played by philosophy in his century. He travelled extensively, leaving a major travel account on London and Britain, where the political myth of England is accompanied by reflections on science, society and landscape. Unfortunately, there is no recent intellectual biography on him available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Italian): In questo saggio verrà presa in esame una figura molto importante del Settecento italiano, che per ora non ha avuto la biografia intellettuale che meriterebbe. Si tratta di Carlo Castone (o Gastone) della Torre di Rezzonico (1742-1796), comasco, membro di una importante nobile famiglia del Lario, figlio dell’erudito pliniano Anton Giuseppe, e cugino di Carlo che divenne papa col nome di Clemente XIII. Egli seppe riflettere con acutezza sul significato del “secolo filosofico” nei rapporti con la politica, e viaggiò a Londra negli anni Ottanta del Settecento lasciando un importante resoconto di viaggio.
