Description
Summary:Camaldolese Cremonese monk Isidoro Bianchi (1735-1808) was an important figure of Lombard culture in the second half of the 18th century. His adherence to the Masonic viewpoint, especially that of “English” ancestry, matured during his stay in the Kingdom of Naples, between 1769 and 1773, while his admiration for the countries of Northern Europe took shape mainly during his stay in Copenhagen, between 1774 and 1776. These experiences conditioned Bianchi's culture, and later, upon his return to Lombardy, he became a theorist and promoter of the normal method.
