Settecento

Certainly! "Settecento" refers to the 18th century, especially the period from 1700 to 1799, primarily in Italy. The term is often used to describe the cultural, artistic, and intellectual developments of this era, which includes the late Baroque, Rococo, and early Neoclassical styles. Settecento was marked by significant advancements in music, art, architecture, and philosophy, reflecting the Enlightenment ideas of reason and elegance. It was a time of both aesthetic refinement and social change, shaping modern European culture and laying groundwork for the subsequent 19th-century movements.
